I was born one morning, with a heat lamp shining down,
In a metal tub with a hundred other chicks,
My mama, you know she wasn’t around.
When I was about 2 days old
They went and tore off my beak,
I had no way to establish a pecking order,
I simply had no way to speak.
Then they put me in a cage and stacked ‘em seventeen high.
I can’t breathe, it’s hot as hell, and there’s chicken crap fallin’ from the sky.
My chicken lady friend is seven cages down,
So far from my view.
Under the lights every day and every night,
Just layin’ all those eggs for you!
Lord, I’m a chicken and I don’t know why!
I don’t mind bein’ a fowl.
I don’t mind havin’ to die.
But I’ll tell you,
You are what you eat, and you people eat a lot of chicken meat.
Sure do!
So you see that it’s true,
What they’re doing to me they’re doin’ to you.
Lord, I’m a chicken and I don’t know why!
Antibiotics and genetically modified corn feed and chopped up chicken bits.
That’s what I eat and you better believe you can’t make chicken salad outta chicken shit.
DNA and hormones have increased my size.
I’ve got buffalo wings, a shriveled ding-a-ling,
I’ve got big, fat, plump and juicy thighs!
My chicken man breasts are so large! (How large?)
If you made a chicken-man bra for me, (a What?)
String me up from the barn,
Just to get it on,
It'd be quadruple-double-D!
Lord, I’m a chicken and I don’t know why!
I don’t mind bein’ a fowl.
I don’t mind havin’ to die.
Danny, tell us!
You are what you eat, and you people eat a lotta chicken meat.
Yessir!
So you see that it’s true,
What they’re doing to me they’re doin' to you.
Lord, I’m a chicken, and I don’t know why.
Lord I’m a chicken.
I’m getting fat.
Chop off my head! Pluck out my feathers.
Put me on the table, what you think of that?
