Lyrics
PARAKEET
It?s a long hard night in a cold, cold sweat
for a country?s youth growing up unchecked
there?s parafin wax dripping to the ground
in the basement of an abandoned house, yeah
Got an old brick remnant from the Wall
got the boys on hold waiting for the call
well, tighten up your flacks, baby, don?t think twice
let?s give it up for the Reich?s twin sacrifice
One if by land, two if by sea,
three if by stealth bomber coming for me
I wear my left to my right and my butt-on straight
I?ve got nine millimeters for your inches eight
I see the Jew coming at me from the red of your eyes
I paid skin tight attention to them color line Levis
What makes a red man red makes a black man blue
what makes the Peter Pans wanna get married too
what makes a woman think she can take back the night
what makes the white man mighty with God on his side
he?s just a Parakeet of the Lord
Dixie flag flying from his four-by-four Ford
One if by land, two if by sea,
three if by stealth bomber coming for me
a kinder and gentler nation I?ve never known
the burning Bush and Reagan era, in this I?ve grown
Who built the Patriot missile, built the Trident, too
got them nuclear subs watching out for you
in just a few more years we?ll take it to the stars-
be the first ones to ever drop the bomb on Mars
One if by land, two if by sea,
three if by stealth bomber coming for me
Citizen of the Empire
