Chicken Wolf Lyrics - At Your Birthday Party - Steppenwolf

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
