DI EAGLE AND DI BEAR

Di Eagle and di Bear a keep a living in fear
Of the impending nuclear warfare
But as a matter of fact â?? believe it or not
Plenty people don't care whether it imminent or not
Or who di first one to attack or if the human race
[aba] survive or not
For those whom is aware
Them life already coming like a nightmare

And you can see it everywhere
The famine and the fear
The doubt and the drought
Desperation and despair
And you can see it all around
The massacres abound
Dead bodies all around
The atrocities abound
Missing persons can' t be found
Dictators get dethroned
New clowns are quickly found
