Oliver Stone (was:Pauper and Sweatshop Fallacies)

[jochen stremmel]

Somebody up to a bit of political science?

Okay:

Boom goes London and boom Paris
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono babe
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now
