Amazing how such simple lyrics can be so completely wrong.

First line: Depending on whether it's the single or album version, it's either "Yassir" (as in Arafat) or "Abbas" (as in Mahmoud). Second line: "Ariel"(as in Sharon) Third line: "Double-ya" (as in George W. Bush) Fourth line: "Blair" (as in Tony)

Once you figure that out, the lyrics are pretty straightforward. It's calling for the four leaders to pick up the phone and work out the problems in the Middle East.

THANK YOU!!!

Why doesn't anyone else SEE that?!
