I want to see the World Lyrics

I wanna see the world, especially France
I want to see them Frenchies sing and dance
They got rhythms unlike any other culture
And fuck, boy, I really like their sodas
I wanna see Japan to try all their dishes
'Cause I love eating fishes
I've been to Germany but I ate Indian food
I shoulda had a sausage or two

I wanna see the world, the world
In all of its glory
The museums, the mountains, the people, the towns
I wanna hear every story

I wanna go to Normandy to respect the troops
They died for me and you
I want to go to Belgium, that's where the Allies fought the Axis
And wonder how that happened
I'm off to Manhattan, I wanna go to Ground Zero
And salute the fallen heroes
I want to go to Memphis, that's where MLK got killed
It doesn't make sense to me still

But I wanna see the world, the world
But I want the whole story
And if it makes me cringe and gasp and gag
Then I guess that that's good for me

I want to go to Samoa and ask them for real
Do you want us occupying you still?
I want to go to Honduras because it just isn't right
We meddled in their elections several different times
Guatemala to say sorry for the harm
I'm sorry we exploited your farms
I'd like to see Africa, an unbelievable theft
Occurred and we should never forget

Oh, you wanna see the world? The world?
But it is fucking awful
And if you stare too hard then you just might find
The bottom of a bottle

I want to see Auschwitz to try and comprehend
how God let that happen to them
I want to see Rwanda to pay my respects
to the million people forced to death
I'm off to Vietnam to see all the harm that we caused
To try and make sense of myself involved
To Cuba to end the blockade
Fucking human lives are at stake

I wanna see the world, the world
Before I die
before my heart stops beating
Or I rip out my eyes
I wanna see the world, the world
Or maybe I don't
Maybe I'm extremely ignorant
And maybe I just won't
