As you're waiting in the airport, You can phone your wife and kids, But you can't tell them where you're off to, 'Cause the newsman already did: Gonna save truth and democracy, And try to stay alive. It's the battle of the century-- Here's hoping you survive. It's the pollen of destruction From the battlefield of mutation, Floating over on the mistral To the cities of the west. Maybe sunspots cause the blindness-- Maybe someone crept up behind us-- Maybe something deep inside us Wants the opposite of best, But when you look into the mirror And you don't know who it is, There's your neighbor in the background Watching as you get undressed. Same tactics on the TV, Same talking in the street, But I just can't stop hearing All those angry, marching feet. It's the sound of something broken. It's the noise that you should fix. It is loud and it ain't jokin'. It might blow you all to bits. It's so hard to halt the panic. It's our evolution bug. It's the dust in all the cracks that We have swept under the rug. We're gonna mix our cold and hot meat-- Gonna find a barbecue-- Gonna rustle up some action-- Gonna taste the ethnic stew. With a logo and a soundbyte, Take a nibble at the truth. It is written on a missile that Is sticking through the roof Of a Muslim or a Hindu or a Christian or a Jew. It is proof we should forgive them For they know not what they do. Who's that in the hallway? What's the message here? Are we doin' somethin' special, Or just making it for beer? Have we a purpose in the future? Are we blistered by the pace? If you open up the present, Will it go off in your face? Time's a twisted little dancer. You can't tell 'er what to do. Are you the problem or the answer? Tell me, who are you?

There are crows, crows, crows everywhere, But when I think of you, dear, I don't care. It gets light around here slowly, Because that's how it goes. Every day we hear the same, dumb List of those crows' woes. Thinking they're so holy, While leaving mementoes. There are crows, crows, crows in the trees, Saying crow things, Doing as they please. There are crows, crows, crows everywhere, But when I think of you, dear, I don't care. I don't care, Because I know you love me, Unlike all the crows Lurking above me. There are crows, crows, crows in the trees, Saying crow things, Doing as they please. There are crows, crows, crows everywhere, But when I think of you, dear, I don't care.

And it was so cold, and so scary in there, that Albi began to cry dragon tears. Which as we all know turn into jellybeans! Anyway, at that moment he felt a tiny little hand rest upon his tail, and he turned around, and who should that little hand belong to but the badly burnt Albanian boy from the day before. Albi: What are you doing here, I thought I killed you yesterday! (grumbled Albi quite racistly) Boy: No Albi, you didn't kill me with your dragon flames. I crawled to safety! But you did leave me very badly disfigured. (laughed the boy) Why are you crying so? Albi: I'm crying because all of those horrible villagers chased me into this scary cave! I think it's because I'm so racist. Get your hand off my tail, you'll make it dirty. Boy: No Albi, it's not because of your racism that they chased you here. They chased me here too and I became all disfigured like this. They just don't like you and I, because, well, because we're different to them. And that made Albi cry a single tear, which turned into a jellybean all colors of the rainbow! And suddenly, he wasn't racist anymore. So they sat in the cave (the cave!) And ate bubblegum pie YUM! Albi The racist.... Well, not anymore! Dragon
