ALMOST FORGOT

almost forgot
yes, we almost forgot
a war's going on
the earth's
a hot spot

what will the newspapers
say of today
we heard all the planes
in the sky on their way
 
we heard of the yanks and the french
in beirut
we heard that the palestinians left
rut tut tut
 
but awake my dear friend
this is far from the end
violent man has gone mad
and is active again
 
yes we almost forgot
yes we almost forgot
a war's going on
the earth's 
a hot spot
