Unofficial national anthem of North Korea

To be sung to the music of Randy Newman's Baltimore:

Beat-up little seagull
On a worn concrete stair
Trying to find the ocean
Looking everywhere

Kim Jong-il eating lobster
Wash it down with French wine
Pretty young babes at his side
Guess I'll eat some more pine

Amputee on the corner
Was run over by a train
Orphaned for a long time
He's sleeping in the rain

And they hide their faces
And they hide their eyes
'Cause the country's dying
And they all know why

North Korea
Man, it's hard just to live
North Korea
Man, it's hard just to live, just to live

Kim's ordered Olympic bomb
Killed hundred and fifteen
I read The Tears of my Soul
She's still just a murder queen

See the children starving
No food day after day
Need a big old wagon
to haul their corpses away

The Cheonan was blown-up
Maybe by Kim's third son
Will things ever change here?
This country's just about done

Go south of the DMZ
Where I can eat, warm and dry
Never coming back here
Until the day I die

North Korea
Man, it's hard just to live
North Korea
Man, it's hard just to live, just to live
