Everybody needs somebody to hate – Jeremy Elwood, NZ

Rather funny song on 'The World Stands Up' site. See here.
Thought I'd put the lyrics up, lol. Most are right, some I wasn't sure of but yeah. It's cool.

[Little speaking bit]

Just like everybody needs someone to love, we all need someone to hate,
New Zealand’s got Australia, Canada’s got the States
The Scottish have the English, India’s got Pakistan
And the way things have been working out we all hate Afghanistan

All the Chinese hate the Taiwanese but they’re hated by Tibet
Germany screwed up years ago and we haven’t forgiven them yet
Turkey, Greece are racking around, have caused a lot of bother
And the Irish felt a bit left out ‘til they learned to hate each other

So if you know what’s good for you, you’d better find yourself an enemy,
It keeps us together and it has done throughout history,
It doesn’t matter who you are, it doesn’t matter what you do,
You have to hate somebody ‘cause somebody sure hates you

The Russians are pretty friendly now but they used to hate the Yanks,
Switzerland is neutral unless you try to touch their banks
Israel hates Palestine so much they can’t share a country
And America just hates who it wants but these days so do we!

Who we hate and why we do it changes with the seasons,
Someone out there’s dreaming up a cause to hate Norwegians,
But, one country rises up, it’s the mark the sets the bench,
You know, it doesn’t matter where you travel to, everybody hates the French

Before you know which side you’re on, before you choose who’s won,
Just remember, a little hatred never hurt no one,
And it doesn’t matter who you are, it doesn’t matter what you do,
You have to hate somebody ‘cause somebody sure hates you,
Yes, you have to hate someone ‘cause someone… sure… hates… (everybody you ready) you!
