| Lyrics:Winwood/Capaldi Music:Winwood/Capaldi | |
| When the eagle flies you'd better watch your eyes | |
| He's gonna sweep everything in his path | |
| And when the heavens cry it's gonna drown the sky | |
| And you'll get caught in the aftermath | |
| When the mountains move it's no good trying | |
| To prove that you've been doing everything you can | |
| And don't you start to cry when you're about to die | |
| You gotta stand up and take it like a man | |
| Because you've been taking instead of giving | |
| And all the while you've been living lies | |
| Economics, all your atomics | |
| Ain't gonna save you from that bird in the sky | |
| And when the good times roll wrapped up in your mink coat | |
| You will be stepping from your Cadillac | |
| You will be stepping from your Cadillac | |
| And in a micro flash you're gonna feel the lash | |
| Of big eagle's wing across your back | |
| And when the seas subside you'll see him glide right out of view | |
| In clouds of snow the rains will come | |
| And wash away the scum so that all the little flowers can grow | |
| There'll be no more taking, only giving | |
| And the sun pouring down | |
| No economics and no atomics | |
| Just the spread of Mother Nature's gown | |
| Do you hear me, Mother Nature? ... |

| And you' ll get caught in the aftermath | |
| When the mountains move it' s no good trying | |
| To prove that you' ve been doing everything you can | |
| And don' t you start to cry when you' re about to die | |
| You gotta stand up and take it like a man | |
| Because you' ve been taking instead of giving | |
| And all the while you' ve been living lies | |
