How long to sing this song?

Sing with me now...

In Korea and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the North Koreans
Mister Kim Il Dong said, 'We will bury you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the North Koreans love their children too

How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the North Koreans love their children too

There is no historical precedent to put
the Words in the mouth of the president
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mister Double U says 'We will protect you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the North Koreans love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me and you
Is if the North Koreans love their children too

Good stuff, and highly relevant given the latest.

I guess the real question to ask is truly whether the No Koreans love their children too. The common citizen does...but as we know absolute power corrupts, so does their ruler love "the children"?

I wonder...
