Biografía:
Boys Life were a Kansas City, Mo., band with an intensely energetic, but dissonant sound that sprung out of the post-hardcore scene in 1993. The band began releasing material on split 7" records with other local outfits Secular Theme and Giants Chair. Relying on a stripped-down sound punctuated by out-of-tune, noisy guitars and a ‘quiet' then ‘loud' alternation, the foursome then put out two full-length albums, Boys Life in 1995 and the out-of-print classic Departures and Landfalls in 1996.

Mom You Earned Your Eagle
[Verse 1]
C F
Hey Mama I can still recall, That day you came back from the mall,
C G
And showed me that green shirt all fresh and new,
C F
You told me I would soon become, and Eagle Scout, your only son,
G C
I didn't know that you would be one too.
[Chorus]
C G C
Ma, you earned your Eagle, no one can disagree,
F G C
Ma, you earned your Eagle, but they gave the badge to me.
[Verse 2]
C F
When I was a young Boy Scout, I wondered, “What's it all about?”
C G
But you made sure I knew the things to do, “You sure did”
C F
You told me I should be prepared, I didn't tell you I was scared,
G C
'Cause the only one who was prepared was you.
[Chorus]
C G C
Ma, you earned your Eagle, no one can disagree,
F G C
Ma, you earned your Eagle, but they gave the badge to me.
[Verse 3]
C F
We hiked and cooked and made a mess, do you feel tired? Well more or less,
C G
But never once have I heard you complain, “Not once”
C F
Even when I blew the kitchen up, or tried to sing, or launched the pup,
G C
My ever faithful Mom you still remain.
[Chorus]
C G C
Ma, you earned your Eagle, no one can disagree,
F G C
Ma, you earned your Eagle, but they gave the badge to me.
[Verse 4]
“I got one, I got one,”
C F
Well once I built a fire out back, about gave her a heart attack,
C G
But I assured, “It's all under control,”
C F
But then you heard the sirens roar, and came back running out the door,
G C
To see that he forgot, Stop, Drop, and Roll.
[Chorus]
C G C
Ma, you earned your Eagle, no one can disagree,
F G C7
Ma, you earned your Eagle, but they gave the badge to me.
[Interlude]
F C
So now you know, about a lot of things, you never knew before,
F G
Like geode rocks, and stinky socks, and boys who eat, then eat some more,
“Yumm”
[Verse 5]
C F
You've crammed all twelve of us in your van, with tents and packs and cans of spam,
C G
And headed for the hills out on a drive,
C F
But packed in there with smelly boys, and traffic jams and lots of noise,
G C
You're only glad you made it out alive.
[Chorus]
C G C
Ma, you earned your Eagle, no one can disagree,
F G C
Ma, you earned your Eagle, but they gave the badge to me.
[Outro]
C G C
Ma, you earned your Eagle, no one can disagree,
F
Ma, you earned your Eagle, and..
G G C
I wanna say thanks but don't know how, so I wrote this song just to tell you now,
G C7 G C G C G
I'm glad we earned our Eagle, Somehow. “Waahooo”
