annette peacock - american sport lyrics

Loading...

hangin’ out some with my daughter
and we were playin’ with a quarter
when she asked
“hey, mama where have all the eagles fled?”
and so, i turned and asked some people
“hey, what’s become of our american eagle?”
and they all passed
except one lady who said

“they’d been k!lling
them for profit
shot from airplanes
whit machine guns
stuffed on mantels
.+ american sport

in a system of
private profit
where the profit
hasе no limit
when the gold sings
we all start to dancе

worry not
while the fat
profiteer
fills his pants!
now on the other side’s
a picture
of a father
on our country
stories tell +
george was honest and true
and he resolved a revolution
brought us peace and stable of union
and his friend, besty gave us
red, white and blue

but the system’s
private profit
and the profit
has no limit
they make more, dear
by giving you less!

also you know
that our heros
are not the philosophers
the ecologists, or the artists

they’re the + capitalists!

o.k. capitalism
without a + social conscience
is dangerous, and
inevitably, destructive
and all the existing systems
are both idealistic and unrealistic
but when success is pursued
so avidly
and symbols are imbued
with security
and there’s an obsession
to be first rather than righteous
you make a lot of mistakes!

but temptation
is often taken
from the rib
of good intentions
and we’re developing
a social conscience, i hope
and i hope we realize
that at tho we are a people
of different cultures
we can co+operate with each other
because +
we’re all living at the same adress
c/o “earth”

“and it’s about the need
but it ain’t about the greed!”
