I want to see the World

I want to see the world, especially France

I want to see them Frenchies sing and dance

They got rhythms unlike any other culture

And fuck, boy, I really like their sodas

I wanna see Japan to try all their dishes

'Cause I love eating fishes

I've been to Germany but I ate Indian food

I shoulda had a sausage or two

I want to see the world, the world

In all of its glory

The museums, the mountains, the people, the towns

I wanna hear every story

I want to go to Normandy to respect the troops

They died for me and you

I want to go to Belgium, that's where the Allies fought the Axis

And wonder how that happened

I'm off to Manhattan, I want to go to Ground Zero

And salute the fallen heroes

I want to go to Memphis, that's where MLK got killed

It doesn't make sense to me still but

I want to see the world, the world

But I want the whole story

And if it makes me cringe and gasp, and gag

Then I guess that that's good for me

I want to go to Samoa and ask them for real

Do you want us occupying you still?

I want to go to Honduras because it just isn't right

We meddled in their elections several different times

Guatemala to say sorry for the harm

I'm sorry we exploited your farms

I'd like to see Africa, an unbelievable theft

Occurred and we should never forget

Oh you want to see the world? The world?

But it is fucking awful

And if you stare too hard, then you just might find

The bottom of a bottle

I want to see Auschwitz

To try to comprehend how God let that happen to them

I want to see Rwanda

To pay my respects to the million people forced to death

I'm off to Vietnam to see all the harm that we caused

To try and make sense of myself involved

To Cuba, to end the blockade

Fucking human lives are at stake

I wanna see the world, the world

Before I die, before my heart stops beating or I rip out my eyes

I want to see the world, the world

Or maybe I don't

Maybe I'm extremely ignorant

And maybe I just won't
