The Silver-Tongued Rooster

[Verse 1] Farmer Jones went broke and he lost the farm Said, "My babies, we're in a bind But now that I'm leavin', you'll be in charge Don't you know you're the master of your own mind?" [Verse 2] In the meeting hall, when the day was done All the animals spoke in turn 'Til a voice cut through like a trumpet call Said, "Let me tell you what I learned" [Chorus] "Everything's better with me in charge I'm the master of your mind" Oh, we believed him when he said he would help He only took our democracy and trust [Verse 3] He made an alliance with the pigs in charge Said, "We are the masters of your mind And don't you know you're a slave without me We brought peace in our time" [Verse 4] With the fences up and the gates all shut And the barnyard just locked down The roosters called to tell them all "I guess that we're all grounded now" [Chorus] "Everything's better with me in charge I'm the master of your mind" Oh, we believed him when he said he would help He only took our democracy and trust
