Chicken Farm

Another rainy morning mingling at the market,

Bartering for food for another day.

Rifle shots ring out behind the crumbling buidings

Executions have begun.

Sprawled in the square are today's broken bodies.

Lots to pick clean if you're first and quick.

Rift through their pockets, peel off their clothes,

To wear or sell when you wash out the blood

Run my little brother,

Run to the chicken farm.

Opportunity is calling,

You might even find a watch.

We're going dooooown

To the chicken farm.

We're going dooooown

To the chicken farm.

We're going dooooown

To the chicken faaaarm.

We're going dooooown

To the chicken farm.

Napalm rains no more,

But the war goes on.

Little brother died playing at the dump today.

He found a new toy and held it up proud,

Then it blew him to bits.

How many more children

Will be killed or die at birth?

Deformed by Agent Orange,

In our food chain forever more.

We're going dooooown

To the chicken farm.

We're going dooooown

To the chicken farm.

We're going dooooown

To the chicken faaaarm.

We're going dooooown

To the chicken farm.

This time we'll buy our way out.

I've got a plan, you wait and see.

I smuggled you this map,

In the gash I sliced in my thigh.

I hope I'm there to join you, love,

We're blown to bits one by one in this camp.

We crawl shaking through the fields at gunpoint all day,

To defuse leftover landmines-by hand.

Call: Heeeeeeey!

Heeeeeeey!

Heeeeeeeeeeeeey!

We shiver on the deck and stiffen for the worst,

If the pirates come around we might as well be dead.

We'll be thrown in the sea,

Or butchered if we're women,

All in the name of gold.

One foot in a land we can barely understand.

Can't speak the tongue of Yankee hospitality.

Our kids at school get beat up,

To the tune of "Boat people, go home".

Sliced with a machete,

From the breast of our homeland.

Our new world tries to spit us out,

But it sure beats the chicken farm.

We're going dooooown

To the chicken farm.

We're going dooooown

To the chicken farm.

We're going dooooown

To the chicken faaarm.

We're going dooooown

To the chicken farm.

Faaaaarm!

Faaaaarm!

Faaaaahahahaarm!
