wrong way down a one way tarmac
made of fools
flocks of chickens block the only route
barnyard johnny swings his ax 
without a care
and the chickens scatter everywhere
absolutely everywhere
bureaucratic automatic 
touch 
reactionary such and such
slam the brake no pull the clutch
it's chess no tetris double dutch
oh 

to give me what i want
you'll have to compromise
just admit defeat
and open up the skies
to give me what i want
you'll have to learn to put
the truth before a shoe
that's on the wrong foot

heads explode while points are made
and then unmade
with 8 fluent oz. and a sharpened blade
the chickens will step aside and watch the  mighty
hoard
of cattle as they climb on board
they climb climb on board
ostentatiously and without a plan
the chickens do what chickens can
they try to finish what they began
with increasingly half baked demands
