George’s Mom and Dad had political power,
Thousand acre ranch and a billion dollars,
So he grew up fast and loose,
Doin’ anything he’d choose,
A key to the vault and the world on a collar.
20 Years older wasn’t 20 years wiser,
Still he made it through the system till he couldn’t get higher,
And boy he made his daddy proud,
When he stood up to face the crowd,
Said “I don’t know what I’m doin’, so I’m takin’ a flyer”
We’re doing this The Easy Way,
There’s gotta be an Easy Way,
Lookin’ for the Easy Way,
So they set up business on foreign soil,
To bring ‘em McDonald’s and steal the oil,
Gotta build a bigger machine,
Ain’t that the American Dream?
Keep the motors runnin’, that’s what we’re here for.
Well he didn’t give a lick about foreign relations,
Wasn’t gonna listen to the Arab nations,
When they blew the Twin Towers to bits,
He was busy readin’ to kids,
His stunned expression on every station.
We’re doing this The Easy Way,
There’s gotta be an Easy Way,
Lookin’ for the Easy Way,
So he created an army and he started a war,
And sent the boys in tryin’ to even the score,
Searching every rock and cave,
Till they thought it was their lucky day,
But when they bust in he went right out the back door.
