They call me a shit bird
And they wonder why
I fail to cooperate
And I won’t even try
So I’ll tell you a story
That you may not have heard
About the great pride
In being a bird
I bow down to no one
I kiss no one’s ass
It’s not that I’m rebellious
But I’ve got too much class
I don’t like this dirt
I don’t the scuzz
Just me me a joint
So I can catch me a buzz
So take your weapons
And destroy one another
I’ll love the whole world
Because you are all my brother
So call me a shit bird
Because then I take pride
In being the best
And that ain’t no lie
Shit Bird – U.S.M.C. – 1981
