You, comin' here, tellin' me how proud you are Some clown just handed you a shiny little silver star You say, "Over there, the men are brave" While the chickens stay away 'Cause they're all too much afraid To fight for somthin' they should believe in I'm sorry friend, you've got it backwards They won't follow when your whistle blows Won't come runnin' when your rooster crows Eat the same old corn until their minds have gone They don't fear the squawk of the little silly chicken hawk Help us clean our own backyard Before you go to preach abroad Believe me, it won't be easy As you well know, not ever bird can roam the sky I see your wings, man but can you fly? All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard Tell me, could that be you? In that case, lay another egg Man, try to save yourself from the bar-b-cue As you well know, not ever bird can roam the sky I see your wings, man but can you fly? All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard Tell me, could that be you? In that case, lay another egg Try to save yourself from the bar-b-cue
