The Sunshine Boys are chatting on the phone;

They claim that they are both concerned with peace.

But one of them is raining down his bombs,

While body counts on both sides still increase.

 

The other one appears not to remember

Who started this barbaric slice of hell;

He treats the culprit as a valued partner

And seems to have been captured by his spell.

 

The victims hide in shelters and mourn friends;

The double act says they cannot aspire

To any more than they already have,

Or else there will be chaos and more fire.

 

We know one wants his minerals and cash;

The other tends to favour slash and burn.

All that remains is for them to decide

Who will become the first to take his turn.
