lyrics

Last night I went to another dumb party
Lotta rich kids sittin' round being arty
Well I felt out of place like Laurel without Hardy
So I picked up my stuff and I left that party

They were telling those Ethiopian jokes, Ethiopian jokes
Rich kids sit around smokin' that dope
Tellin' Ethiopian jokes

Well they think they're witty they think they're urbane
A couple of laughs for a desert of pain
I guess when you get on those cushions things are never the same
Some worship wine others pray for rain

Hear those Ethiopian jokes, Ethiopian jokes
Rich kids sit around snortin' that coke
Tellin' Ethiopian jokes

Well I flew over that continent and that ain't no lie
Saw people in the desert where they die
Would I still be a man if I admitted that I cried
Well I cried
Well I cried
Well I cried, and I wished it was rain
Well I cried, I cried, and I wished it was rain

Well you can't predict the future and it's just as well
Cause the future's somethin' nobody can foretell
Thinkin' of the past I think I told a few of them jokes myself
So I'll see you all down in Hell

You know what we'll be telling Ethiopian jokes
Ethiopian jokes
Rich kids sittin' round smokin' dope
Talkin' 'bout the future how there is no hope
The next punch line is a line of coke
A lousy line of coke I wish my tears were rain
I wish my tears were rain
I hate those jokes
Well I hate those jokes
Ethiopian jokes
I hate Ethiopian jokes
I hate Ethiopian jokes
Hahaha
