The Onion Song |
| The world is just a great big onion |
| &pain &fear are the spices that make you cry |

| Is to plant love seeds until it dies, uh huh |
| Hey world! |
| We got a great big job to do |
| Yeah, we need you |
| &everybody who loves truth |
| Don’t you know we’ve got to clean up this place |
| &reach far high &oh yeah |
| Yes we do |
| We gotta be headstrong about rightin' the wrong |
