Tun tun tun tun tun tun tun tun
Seamos un tilín mejores
Y un poco menos egoístas
Tun tun tun tun tun tun tun tun
Huele a esperanza
In this common endeavor
Huele a esperanza
All of us work together
Tun tun tun tun tun tun tun tun
We must embrace a new era of engagement
Because the time has come
Choir: to smell the hope!
For growth to be sustained
It has to be shared
Choir: oh, we can smell the hope!
The time has come
Choir: to smell a better world!!
A better world to live in for future generations everywhere.
Don't get sick
That's right, don't get sick
If you have insurance, don't get sick
If you don't have insurance, don't get sick
If you're sick, don't get sick
Just don't get sick
That's the republicans' health care plan
He has a chart
An angry chart
A chart that helps us learn!
Ooh ooh ah ah
If you get sick in america, die quickly
That's right--the republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick
I agree!
He agrees!
Angrily!
Cuz he's angry!
Afford to live?
Are we at that point?
Are we so heartless?
How can we not be united against death?
Us: my bff gilgamesh knows eternal life's an impossible quest
The resources exist for your father and mine to get the same treatment
Us: yeah, we're in agreement
But first we gotta lay down some
All: high speed rail
Us: bail out some
All: banks
Us: save your daddy with the leftover change
How can we be so heartless?
We're nihilists!
How can we be so heeeeaaartless?
We're tryna die quick!
What more obvious role could government have
Than the defense of the life of each citizen?
How is the nobel peace prize decided?
Well, uh, that is what people were asking all day today
We mix a secret potion,
And roll the ancient dice,
Then hire a focus group
And have a human sacrifice.
A lot of people are asking today why do you think the committee elected president obama?
I believe a prize for peace should go to the biggest wuss.
They were giving obama a prize for not being george bush.
Choir: they can smell the hope!!
Take a deep breath!
Choir: and hope a smelly world!
A deep breath!
A better world to live in for future generations everywhere
