Hey Hey That's My Balloon
I'm making an observation
Bout the state of the world today
This is what I've come up with
In my own inimitable way
Maybe it's cuz I'm an old guy
It seems there's much more strife
There doesn't seem, like years ago
As much laughter in everyone's life
I know there'll always be conflict
Somewhere around the world
This nation or that one gets pushy
Controversy begins to swirl
Then one country threatens the other
Military action follows soon
We're like a bunch of nasty children
Yelling, “Hey that's my balloon!”
Seem like there isn't a cure for this
But there's always hope I guess
That mankind will see the utter futility
And realize it don't make no sense!
