I am peeved as you are peeved, I can’t believe
There’s just too many feathers
See how they fly like rats up in the sky, it’s time to die
Stop crying
Sitting on a freeway, waiting for the goose to move
Habituated species, way too many feces
Branta Canadensis, oy. We let it go too long
I am the Egg Man, let’s get their eggs, men
Let’s take ’em all, yes. Goo goo goo goose!
