Policemen of the World

We are the world's policemen

So y'all have to do as we say.

Y'all want to have world peace? then

Go for it! Just as long as you go our way.

We give aid to kings and dictators,

Your juntas and petty regimes,

If the colour of their policy makers

Fits in with our own colour schemes.

We don't like Red. We're iffy about Green,

Gold is our favourite hue,

Some shades of Pink we consider obscene,

But Black, Oil Black's for US! NOT FOR YOU!

We oppose all weapons of mass destruction

And view them with serious alarm,

Unless... their responsible production

Is safely under our protective arm.

We are the world's true democracy

We carry Freeodom's torch a burning flame.

We say to those who may accuse us of plutocracy,

'With no dosh how you gonna join the game?'

We specialise in seeking earth's resources

Too precious to lie idly underground.

And countires must accept their only course is

To allow us to dig up what we've found.

We'll free you from the hard oppressor's hand,

Providing we see him as a threat.

If you're wounded in the process, lose your home or land,

Accept it, as part payment of your debt.

Remember! We are the world's policemen

So y'all have to do as we say.

Y'all want to have world peace? then

Go for it! so long as you go our Gung Ho way.

Hazel Rennie, 2003.
