Animal Farm

from Canadian As Fuck by Ripcordz

/

lyrics

Darwin put us all at the head of his class
I don't think our performance will give us a pass
Sometimes it's hard to tell the swine from the pearls
Living high and fine in the dog eat dog world
Their pig eat pig world

Uncle John is gonna prove his manhood tonight
Got a brew and got a deer dead in his sights
Just went shopping, got all this fab gear
Don't believe in killing for just part of the year
Not to worry, Uncle J's a sporting guy
They should run or get their brains blown into the sky
He's a simple guy with something to prove
Just wants to show that he can hit things that move
All week he's just a suit and tie
Not too bright but he's one hellofa boozer
Out here here's a really big guy
It's a sport where he can never lose

CHORUS
Welcome to the Animal Farm
Can't you hear the screams of alarm?
Welcome to the Animal Farm

Auntie Meg is putting on her best face today
Case her face in chemicals from Miss Mary Kay
No-tear mascara makes her look her very best
Thanks to a few rabbits who died in the test
Got her mink wrap and a full-length fox coat
Trailing blood behind her, she's an ugly old goat
Preening in the mirror with a crocodile smile
An elegant old carnivore drowning in style
Drowning in pride, smothered in perfume
Blinded to what's happening outside of her rooms
Never a thought, never a worry
'Bout all that ugly stuff that you see on TV

Why - can't they stop and listen
Life - ain't so cheaply given
It's time to stop the killing
The waste is just so chilling

Farming the land, food for survival
Waiting for the new messiah's latent arrival
Raping the forests for chemical croplands
Nature's precious balance destroyed in their hands
Drowning in wealth, smothered by garbage
An ecosystem buried in all our own cartage
Free creatures spend their whole lives in cages
To satisfy the cravings of our nuclear age
