Aahhhh!

Alright . . . here's what I want to happen. I want all the children on this side of the world to come together in a nice, big circle. It can be a semi-circle. Just a circle. And I want you to hold hands and send up a collective prayer to God. I want it to be a prayer for all those other children on the other side of the world who can't make circles and don't have food. There you go . . . yeah, there you go, do it. Yeah, you're catchin' on, see? It's so easy. There you go. C'mon.

Where are the children?
Where have they gone?
They went away
Away to stay
We'll see them again some other day
They're out the door
(Or out to sea)
Something seems fishy to me
Gone in a flash
Gone in a crash
I bet they all made a splash

Where are all the children? Children! Children? Come out, come out, where ever you are! Children? Where are all the children?

Where did they go?

Tsunami! That took them all away
Came out of the blue, though the government knew
Tsunami! That took them all away
Came down like rain, and now we'll change
Tsunami! That took them all away
Came outta the sea for you and me
Tsunami!

Okay . . . so maybe the prayer circle didn't work like I thought it would. I know, let's ask our leaders.

Where are the nations?
When we need them?
Show some heart
Show some soul
Gimme some of that rock n' roll
Raise some funds
Have some fun
Today we're gonna help someone
Make a change
Spare some change
Adopt an orphaned orangutan
Collect canned food
End the feud
Don't let Mother Earth come unglued
Show some heart
Show some soul
Gimme some of that rock n' roll
Make a stand
It's what God planned
We got to save their bleeding land
Lend me your ears
Lend me your hands
Together we can make a stand
We have a choice
So raise your voice
Come on everybody and make some noise
Take a chance
Get up and dance
Rearrange a victim's circumstance

Tsunami! That took them all away
Came out of the blue, though the government knew
Tsunami! That took them all away
Came down like rain, and now we'll change
Tsunami! That took them all away
Came outta the sea for you and me
Tsunami!

The salty blue beast was 30 feet tall
And on our shores it did fall
It rose with wrath, it crashed with rage
Devouring children like a rat-spread plague
Now bodies lay sprawled at every turn
Oozing with cholera, typhoid and germs
The dead also spread hepatitis-E
Making us rock like a boat on the sea
I suppose this is normal for anarchy
When it rains down it's wrath and savagery
On the innocent heads of you and me
For we cannot escape the rage of the
Tsunami!

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Tsunami! That took them all away
Came out of the blue, though the government knew
Tsunami! That took them all away
Came down like rain, and now we'll change
Tsunami! That took them all away
Came outta the sea for you and me
Tsunami!
