Alexei Panshin's The Abyss of Wonder

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Red Alert
 

 

Green Alert -- there's never been one
Blue Alert -- can't remember when
Yellow Alert -- be just a little uneasy
Orange Alert -- be wary, be wise
Red Alert   Red Alert   Red Alert -- look to the skies

Well, beware the Axis of Evil
They're a threat to world peace
They got Weapons of Mass Destruction
But all we want is Iraqi Freedom

We're fighting a war on terror
And got a coalition of the willing
They're from New Yurp, not Old Yurp
Couple of Mongolians, too

We got a roadmap to the future
Smart bombs with surgical precision
Preventive war
Pre-emptive war
Nation building
Regime change

We have to keep killin' people
To get their attention
One day we'll hold an election
And see the wrong people don't get elected

So why do they hate us
When we're the vanguard of peace?
Gonna rid the world of evildoers
And set up a New World Order
And who could object to that?

Green Alert -- there'll never be one
Blue Alert -- can't remember when
Yellow Alert -- be just a little uneasy
Orange Alert -- be wary, be wise
Red Alert   Red Alert   Red Alert -- look to the skies

Be afraid -- Be very afraid
 

-- Josh Wachtel and Alexei Panshin
