The movies are realities
The American dream
is the White Picket Fence
Everyone carries a gun,
in NYC, LA and Chicago
Schools are death zones
CAWW… CAW, CAWW
Creationism vs. evolution
comprises our full docket
Media scrubs brains, then
leashed to brand names
we are under their control
BALD EAGLE CALL
Consuming until we burst,
such a way is all we know
Racism, is alive and well,
just now it’s unconscious,
though fire eaters do exist
CAWW… CAW, CAW
We are the world’s police
whether or not it calls us
And we got a big, big stick
and we don’t club it softly
BALD EAGLE CALL
Just a bunch of gun lovers
with inclinations to violence
Environmentally aloof and,
we’d made that movie too
CAWW… CAW, CAWW
Reckless, and arrogant, so
boastful this egomaniacal
culture of which we gloat
CAWW… CAWWW…
CAW, CAWW, CAWWW
But hey, we are generous
You know it’s fucking true
It’s none of your espressos
that’s feeding Timbuktu
philanthropy is what we do.
BALD EAGLE CALL
BALD EAGLE CALL
And life we live so positive,
hence the red white and blue
Working hard without a break
until the dream comes true
BALD EAGLE CALL
BALD EAGLE CALL
BALD EAGLE CALL
BALD EAGLE CALL
