The Chicken Hawk
No stomach for the fighting when his generation went to war.
Deferments and connections kept him safe.
Mommy simply pulled some strings – no problem any more.
If all else fails, the Coast Guard is a welcome hiding place.
Ohhhh a chicken hawk never walks the walk, he just talks the talk
and sends your children to war.
He loves the military, but he ducked out on his hitch.
He’s a tough talkin, war squawkin, cowardly son of a bitch.
But we can’t hold that against him cause his Mommy’s kinda rich.
Too smart to risk his own life, he would be nobody’s fool.
Cause he’s got bigger fish to fry – he’s vital after all.
Too important for the service, he spends his time in school.
And there’s always Mommy’s money if he flunks out in the fall.
Ohhhh a chicken hawk never walks the walk, he just waves the flag
and sends your children to war.
He loves the military, but he ducked out on his hitch.
He’s a flag wavin, money savin, hypocrite son of a bitch.
But we can’t hold that against him cause his Mommy’s kinda rich.
BRIDGE:
Someone else’s children man the military post.
While his kids stay at home and wave the flag.
His own kids are protected from his violent, angry boast.
If you really love this country, it’s enough to make you gag.
Once the war was over, it became his “golden age.”
When his country was in trouble, he was nowhere to be found.
He is ultra patriotic when it’s at the talking stage.
No consequence to fighting once he’s old and safe and sound.
Ohhhh a chicken hawk never walks the walk, he just grins
and sends your children off to war.
He loves the military, but he ducked out on his hitch.
He’s a cheer leadin, drum beatin, chickenshit son of a bitch.
But we can’t hold that against him cause his Mommy’s kinda rich.
