Like the eagle perched atop the globe

We'll climb up above the smog and

With a dog and a TV set

We'll eat flesh 'til we're fatter than our friends

You never know when you're gonna get the new shoes, keys and glasses

You'll be barefoot, free from debt

Blinded and wandering

Maybe then you'll be happier (Then you'll be happier again)

And so goes the bartering life

Blood for food then they strap you down

You scream, Miami was pretty

Before we were bitter

Before we let our sadness litter the street
