Is crowned by German jubilations
This year’s Mannschaft takes the Cup
And the Berlin crowds all lap it up!
The Gaza Strip takes second place
The victims mount – it’s a disgrace
The blue star in the Middle East
Fights shy of a lasting peace.
What a world we live in – it’s gone mad
That football reigns is very sad
The things that matter are neglected
Belgium’s Government – not selected!
It should be warm as it’s July
But the sun has teardrops in its eye
Could our frivolity be the cause?
Who knows – but maybe we should pause …
