Putin’s naked torso
The G7 leaders mock
Putin in reply
Says they’d be a laughing stock
But war is waging people die
This is no laughing game
If we’re not careful we will find
Our future is the same
If you can’t say something good
Say nothing then at all
Don’t add to this world’s nonsense
It will bring us to a fall
Let every word be positive
Let every word speak true
And give the other person
The space to speak to you
Come to terms the good Lord says
While on your way to court
Or you may find the price you pay
Will leave you very short
We think that Putin is to blame
We did nothing wrong
But he sees the NATO build up
And that’s a different song
