On a dark asian coastline,
We thought all was fair
Now there may be nuclear missiles
Rising up through the air
No one saw it from a distance,
But now it's all come to light
That North Korea has a nuke program
And they are ready to fight

Someone told Colin Powell;
And he said "oh swell!"
And he was thinking to himself
This could be heaven or this could be hell
Then he called up the cabinet,
And he told them to stay
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say

Beware of the nukes in North Korea
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
For a new arms race
Plenty of eyes on the nukes in North Korea
Make 'em disappear (make 'em disappear)
'Nother war is near

His name is Saddam the In-sane,
He might be starting again
He's got a lot of pretty, pretty oil,
And Iraqi friends
Now he hides in his palace,
No fighting yet
Some think he's a madman,
Some think he's a threat

Then there's Mr. bin Laden,
He's real hard to find
We haven't seen that coward here
Since he said "9/11's mine"
But still those voices are calling from
Far away
Here's the story in the middle of the news,
I just heard them say

Beware of the nukes in North Korea
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
For a new arms race
Dubya Bush sees the nukes in North Korea
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Better watch the skies

Powell's got this feeling,
'Keep Pyongyang on ice'
And he said, "We don't want no casualties here,
From a nuke device"
And in Dubya's chambers,
He's stressed to say the least
He only had to fight Saddam,
But the threat here has increased

People please remember
what has taken place before
Just take a look what happened back
In the lace of the second world war
"Relax" says Korea,
"We have nothing up our sleeves"
You can call it anything you like,
But be careful what you believe
