Story behind the song
In honor of all those annoying helicopters.
Lyrics
I was at a demonstration Somewhere in this great nation Millions of riot cops were milling everywhere They were eating meatball subs They were swinging billy clubs Then there came a thunderous noise right above us in the air (Chorus) RPG, RPG I can hear the people all shouting out with glee And when I look up to the sky I can't help but wonder why That helicopter's circling above right over me I was singing like a bird Just trying to be heard Singing on the stage some wistful melody And there seemed to be consensus That with that copter up above us There was just one song now that might have a harmony (Chorus) As we gathered up the tazed We were happily amazed That the medics had the water for to flush our eyes for gas But what was really most impressive Though perhaps a bit aggressive Was when a hundred bodies spelled three letters on the grass (Chorus)
