lyrics

on a windy day
the people have birds on a leash
and he sees linear prisons
from the newtown to pieschen
it was a typical american foreign policy intervention
he fixes razors to a dragon
and leads operation force feed em freedom

up they fly
theres no limit to the sky
for an american small fry
with a penchant for surprise

the bullies from pieschen süd
are out skipping steine and skipping schule
and double trouble dog dare him
its scary but he stays cool
he knows he cant throw that far
and he knows the meaning of gefahr
so he hatches a plan like only an american can

from dusk till dawn
he combs the riverbank on his own
and drowns all the flat stones
cept for the final one he throws

if you mess with teddy youd be ill advised
a strong breeze might break him
but hes steel behind the eyes
hes a real smart kid
fact he invented the word
teddys headed to the top of the world
hes a real smart kid
fact he invented word
teddys headed to the top of the world
