lyrics

Come on down to the factory farm
Where the grass is brown and you can’t go frownin’
Milk that cow with the nuts and the bolts and
The dogs go woof and the cats go …

Once upon a time there was a young small boy
And he liked to play with animals instead of with his toys
He always dug holes where he kept his pets and
The dirt was deep and the grass was wet

Always running all around the factory floor
Til his dad said “Kid, you can’t run no more!
Maybe you’ll slip and you’ll bust your head on a
Chicken or a piston or a bag of pig blood!”

The kid said…
“The man’s a ripe banana
I know he only wants a hand
But if I play my cards right
I could be in the marching band”

But as the years cranked on
He didn’t quite make the cut
He moved to New York City
And started his own damn factory farm

And all the sudden these birds and bees
And towers and trees came crashing down
And he didn’t know what he was supposed to do
Because the factory farm was just a factory fire

Once was born a tulip
Swallow hard and follow along
See rang out loud amongst her tree fly solo
Browsing track to crested freedom lip
Lip to love, lips to hold for how long
Sang tree, sullen, ballooning, chewing
Free frets, free frets, crier
Don’t come crying to come crack back home, Jack
Jacky loves yells and shrieks
She finds me hideously astounding
But can’t seem to shake me off the wagon
One wagon per day
Crates of nugget buckets and
Cheese chilly fried rings smell galt
Malty sauce, sausage clinging to the
Bottom of the bucket for dear luck
Bite out of hell
Ginger cram may sound like a treat
But the trees have you on their back
They scream for more lungs to fill with air
Hydrogen spilling and swaying

Sway, sway, sway, up, down to ground
Electricity makes you sour as a mouse
Willow hole, you make me
You make me out of fleas and stucco
Oh, stuck, stuck in canyon, make it count
Don’t forget the veins when you
Chew throughout your arm
