A SONG FOR THE EUROPEAN UNION

To be sung in the manner of Tom Waitts

We must sacrifice Palestine to save Ukraine.

we must sacrifice Sudan to save Ukraine,

we must sacrifice Venezuela to save Ukraine,

we must sacrifice Greenland to save Ukraine,

we must sacrifice the world to save Ukraine,

we must send Ukraine into space

to spin as a lonely asteroid,

lonely, lonely brave asteroid,

an airless heaven of liberty

where international law still rules supreme,

because we sacrificed the world to save Ukraine,

we sacrificed the world to save Ukraine,

we put a gun to the head of international law

and said, "You must die so that Ukraine can live!"

We sacrificed the world to save Ukraine.
