[Intro: Dawn Upshaw]
Ah
Ah
[Chorus: Joy Askew]
Of all the treasure in our chest
We love the golden god of war the best
[Verse 1: Joe Jackson]
Look, look at that little clown
Here, look through the binoculars
Someone burned his schoolhouse down
And he's blinking in the sun
He's drying something in the sun
Ha, it's an old teabag
Now he rolls it up
Look, he made a cigarette
But he's not gonna smoke it yet
Maybe he's gonna sell it
How much do you think he'll get?
[Bridge: Avatar Rainbow Coalition, Joe Jackson]
A slice of ham, a long goodbye, three days of peace
A bar of soap, a can of oil, ten years of debt
A pinch of salt, a week of news, four double-A's
A plastic bag, a place to hide, one sucker bet
I got what you want
You got what I need
Ah
Ah
[Chorus: Joy Askew]
Of all the treasure in our chest
We love the golden god of war the best
[Verse 1: Joe Jackson]
Look, look at that little clown
Here, look through the binoculars
Someone burned his schoolhouse down
And he's blinking in the sun
He's drying something in the sun
Ha, it's an old teabag
Now he rolls it up
Look, he made a cigarette
But he's not gonna smoke it yet
Maybe he's gonna sell it
How much do you think he'll get?
[Bridge: Avatar Rainbow Coalition, Joe Jackson]
A slice of ham, a long goodbye, three days of peace
A bar of soap, a can of oil, ten years of debt
A pinch of salt, a week of news, four double-A's
A plastic bag, a place to hide, one sucker bet
I got what you want
You got what I need
