Lyrics

World peace is none of your business
You must not tamper with arrangements Work hard and sweetly pay your taxes Never asking what for
Oh oh, you poor little fool Oh oh, you fool
World peace is none of your business Police will stun you with their stun guns Or they’ll disable you with tasers That’s what governments for
Oh oh, you poor little fool Oh oh, you fool
World peace is none of your business So would you kindly keep your nose out? The rich must profit and get richer And the poor must stay poor
Oh oh, you poor little fool Oh oh, you fool
Each time you vote, you support the process Each time you vote, you support the process Each time you vote, you support the process
Brazil and Bahrain Oh, Egypt, Ukraine So many people in pain
No more, you poor little fool No more, you fool
