| Yeah old cooter jumped up from a bad dream
|
| On the dawn of the day of the dead
|
| And when a plan split his brain like a light beam
|
| Made a suit outta chicken bone heads
|
| And then he clucked and he crowed down to Main Street
|
| While the flock fell into his trance
|
| And as the news crew caught it for the TV
|
| The hens sang while the Chickenman danced
|
| They said the chickens are troubled
|
| The poop’s aimed at the fan
|
| We’re tired of livin' on bubbles
|
| We’re sick of trickle-down plans
|
| We’re tired of peckin' for a penny
|
| And no corn in the stew
|
| We’re sick of bad for the many
|
| And bein' great for a few
|
| Life in the coop is gettin' real tough
|
| The tractor’s runnin' but the wheel’s stuck
|
| We’re out here lookin' for the real stuff
|
| Yeah the chickens want guns, and gold, and guitars
|
| Yeah they really need guns, and gold, and guitars
|
| And so the Chickenman rooster in the courthouse
|
| Bad eggs went walkin' round armed
|
| But when yardbirds landed down at Fort Knox
|
| It tripped several federal alarms
|
| So the congressmen staggered into action
|
| Made a law for the troops to respond
|
| But all the seals whipped out telecasters
|
| And cut down on the Chickenman song
|
| They said the chickens are troubled
|
| The poop’s aimed at the fan
|
| We’re tired of livin' on bubbles
|
| We’re sick of trickle-down plans
|
| We’re tired of peckin' for a penny
|
| And no corn in the stew
|
| We’re sick of bad for the many
|
| And bein' great for a few
|
| Life in the coop is gettin' real tough
|
| The tractor’s runnin' but the wheel’s stuck
|
| We’re out here lookin' for the real stuff
|
| Yeah the chickens want guns, and gold, and guitars
|
| Yeah they really need guns, and gold, and guitars
|
| Yeah!
|
| Life in the coop is gettin' real tough
|
| The tractor’s runnin' but the wheel’s stuck
|
| We’re out here lookin' for the real stuff
|
| Yeah the chickens want guns, and gold, and guitars
|
| Yeah they really need guns, and gold, and guitars
|
| Yeah they really need guns, and gold, and guitars
|
| Yeah they really need…
|
| Yeah they really need guns, and gold, and guitars
|
| … guns, and gold, and guitars
|
| Yeah they really need… guns, and gold, and guitars |
