  1. That’s When the Eagle Screams

Folks are talking and a-­talking a how the U.S. ain’t the best
But the eagle is getting tired of y’all shitting in his nest
You thought he was only sleeping, you plucked feathers out one by one
But he just had one eye closed, so amigo ya better run

Cause we’re flying down to Mexico, we’re gonna rain on your parade
Thirty pounds of angry eagle and he damn sure ain’t afraid
Look out if you gonna take potshots at these American dreams
Cause just when you ain’t watching, that’s when the eagle screams

It’s a sticky situation for ol’ Jacque and Pierre
Maple syrup can’t stop eagles when they’re flying through the air
You can keep your old bacon, you can have your natural gas
Look out you old maple leaf, you can kiss this eagle’s ass

Cause we’re flying up to Canadia, we’re gonna rain on your parade
Thirty pounds of angry eagle, he damn sure ain’t afraid
Look out if you gonna take potshots at these American dreams
Cause just when you ain’t watching, that’s when the eagle screams ­
(Shaw!)

And as for you old Aussies, look out for number one
You can keep your old koala bear and Olivia Newton-­John
You can get physical all you want, but we’re gonna make it stick
With some good ol’ apple pie and a big ol’ eagle dick

Cause we’re flying up to Stralia, we’re gonna rain on your parade
Thirty pounds of angry eagle, he damn sure ain’t afraid
Look out if you gonna take potshots at these American dreams
Cause just when you ain’t watching, son, that’s when the eagle screams
Just when you ain’t looking, that’s when the eagle screams
