pelican nation

Are you hungry?

Watch the time-lapse making of my painting, Pelican Nation, accompanied by my original song, Pelican.

Hey, Humpty Dumpty on the wall
With barrels full of oil
That Humpty Dumpty's got to fall
His blood is gonna boil
We'll smart-bomb his whole country
We'll bring him to his knees
We've got to get that gasoline
To fill our SUVs

Pelican pelican
You look to be American
Hey pelican pelican
Your mouth can hold more
than your belly can

Now, Mary Mary quite contrary
Why does your garden glow
With nuclear facilites
Within a pebble's throw
They told us it was simple
So safe and clean and fun
Let's microwave the human race
Who needs the wind and sun?

Oh, Pelican pelican
You look to me just like a man
Hey pelican pelican
Your mouth can hold more
than your belly can

You know that you want it
So just take a little more (3X)
You know that you want it
So just take it, take it, take it, take it

Pelican pelican
You looka-looka like a man
Hey pelican pelican
Your mouth can hold more
than your belly can

Pelican (Lyrics)

Pelican pelican
You look to me just like a man
Hey pelican pelican
Your mouth can hold more
than your belly can

Now Old MacDonald had a farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on the farm he had some corn
So much it had to go
He put it in the burgers
He put it in the fries
He made it fast and cheap
Now little Johnny's super-sized

Pelican pelican
You look to me just like a man
Hey pelican pelican
Your mouth can hold more
than your belly can

Now Jack and Jill went up the hill
Just to chill and watch some tube
But listen kiddies, can't you tell
The TV's watching you
They track you with your cable,
cell phone, GPS and web
You know they just can't wait
To put a chip inside your head

Pelican pelican
Hey, are you hungry—yes I am
Oh pelican pelican
Your mouth can hold more
than your belly can

You know that you want it
So just take a little more (3X)
You know that you want it
So just take it, take it, take it, take it
