Breaking News Across The Globe

Light a cig and grab the rum,
the holy messiah's finally come
(but He is not what you'd expect
an auburn hippie with horn rimmed specs)
REPENT! REPENT!
funds for global warming were overspent
looks like Columbus found the edge
a War of Worlds awaits the pledge
teetering to one side then t'other
fear of terrorism and of Big Brother
crudeness is abundant in society
but the Earth's crust has attained piety
but its cake is no longer baked, it is processed
and we can't remember for whom the law sets
free and cans the ones who sin!
Hair of wire, heart of tin
machines take over left and right
promethean fire has lost the fight
starving countries
trouble o'er seas
pushed down onto your knees
P.O.W.'s send out pleas
saddle up, forget your keys
no forget the Qs just mind your Ps
economies suffer while others explode
