lyrics

DON’T LET THE EAGLE DRIVE YOU MAD

WELL I WROTE A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT
HE PISSED ME OFF
I DECIDED TO VENT
THE FBI SAW AN INCIDENT
THEY SENT A MAN WITH A BUTTERFLY NET

I KNOW IT’S ALL BEEN SAID BEFORE
THERE AIN’T NO JUSTICE FOR THE POOR
THE BLUES COME EASY WHEN YOU’VE GOT NO CASH
I’LL HUG YOUR ELEPHANT
WHEN YOU KISS MY ASS

WELL I LOST MY JOB AT THE FACTORY
THE FBI PUT A TAP ON ME
ASHCROFT THREW MY SOUL IN JAIL
THERE’S A TERRORIST BENEATH THAT VEIL

I KNOW IT’S ALL BEEN SAID BEFORE
THERE AIN’T NO JUSTICE FOR THE POOR
THE BLUES COME EASY WHEN YOU’VE GOT NO CASH
I’LL HUG YOUR ELEPHANT
WHEN YOU KISS MY ASS

NOW HOW THE HELL WE GONNA RIGHT THAT WRONG
WHEN THE ONES THAT RUN THE COUNTRY CAN’T GET ALONG?
I GUESS IT’S THAT OLD SAYING THEY CAN’T GET PAST:
“I’LL HUG YOUR ELEPHANT
WHEN YOU KISS MY ASS”

I KNOW IT’S ALL BEEN SAID BEFORE
THERE AIN’T NO JUSTICE FOR THE POOR
THE BLUES COME EASY WHEN YOU’VE GOT NO CASH
I’LL HUG YOUR ELEPHANT
WHEN YOU KISS MY ASS

WELL I SEE PINK ELEPHANTS EVERYWHERE
THEIR TRUNKS ARE FULL OF CASH AND BEER
THEY’VE GOT ALL THE MONEY
THEY’VE GOT ALL THE DREAMS
ALL I’VE GOT ARE ROBBER’S SCHEMES

I KNOW IT’S ALL BEEN SAID BEFORE
THERE AIN’T NO JUSTICE FOR THE POOR
THE BLUES COME EASY WHEN YOU’VE GOT NO CASH
I’LL HUG YOUR ELEPHANT
WHEN YOU KISS MY ASS

SO I STARTED WALKING
DOWN ALONG THE TRACKS TO CHECK OUT A WINO
I TALKED TO A MAN DOWN AT THE TRACKS
TO SEE IF HE HAD THE ANSWER FOR WHAT I LACKED
HE SAID
“DON’T YOU BE TOO HAPPY
DON’T YOU BE TOO SAD
AND DON’T LET THE EAGLE DRIVE YOU MAD
DON’T YOU BE TOO HAPPY
DON’T YOU BE TOO SAD
AND DON’T LET THE EAGLE DRIVE YOU MAD
DON’T LET THE EAGLE DRIVE YOU MAD
DON’T LET THE EAGLE DRIVE YOU MAD
DON’T LET THE EAGLE DRIVE YOU MAD
DON’T LET THE EAGLE DRIVE YOU MAD
DON’T LET THE EAGLE DRIVE YOU MAD”
