[Verse]
G
You come in here, telling me how proud you are, some clown just handed you a shiny little silver star
C
You say, over there, the men are brave
G
While the chickens stay away ‘cause they're all too much afraid
D C G
To fight for something they should believe in, I'm sorry friend, you've got it backwards
[Verse]
G
They won't follow when your whistle blows, won't come running when your rooster crows
Don't eat the same old corn until their minds have gone
C G
They don't fear the squawk of the little silly chicken hawk
D C G
Help us clean our own backyard before you go to preach abroad, believe me it won't be easy
[Verse]
G
As you well know, not every bird can roam the sky, I see your wings, man, but can you fly?
C
All I see when I look down, something jumping on the ground
G
Scratching dirt, clucking in the barnyard - tell me, could that be you?
D C G
In that case, lay another egg and try to save yourself from the barbecue
