The eagle perched on the flying pole

He arched around the wire

This isn't what we intended for you

Wake up, no don't lie

Mother What have we done to you,

mother Can we make it up to you,

mother What can we do to start anew

Hear now what I am saying

If just for your own sake

To balance out your portion

You must put back what you take

Mother What have we done to you,

mother Can we make it up to you, mother

What can we do to start anew

And why can't it be Like it's been to mother

For each other to live We just all have to give

Mother What have we done to you,

mother Can we make it up to you, mother

What can we do to start anew
