Hook: https://suno.com/s/G6jOcDDLntPDllSL Based on The Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings, rewritten from the perspective of factory farmed chickens The song is not about chickens, but they make a great metaphor Thanks for listening [Intro... spoken, Corgan-style grave delivery] "The world is a vampire..." "...sent to drain my feed bucket." [Verse 1] Zeroed in on a handful of grain cluck-cluck, bok bok, bawk on a cold concrete floor God is empty just like my trough I used to peck but I don't anymore [Verse 2] Saliva of the foreman drips BA-GAWK BA-GAWK ..... he don't know what I am Despite all my clucks I am still just a BAWK in a coop [Pre-Chorus] And I know that you know That the eggs aren't free Buh-CAWWWW And I know that you know There's no dignity In poultry [Chorus.... FULL RAGE] Despite all my rage I [Chorus... FULL RAGE] Despite all my rage I am still just a chicken in a cage Despite all my rage I am still just a chicken in a cage [Verse 3] The farmer's on the phone again BA-GAWK ... he's talking 'bout McNuggets Tell me I'm free range But the fence says I'm not And the conveyor belt Is all that I've got [Pre-Chorus 2] And I know that you know That the feed ain't real Buh-CAWWWW And I know that you know How a drumstick feels In poultry [Chorus] Despite all my rage I am still just a chicken in a cage Despite all my rage I am still just a chicken in a cage [Bridge ... quiet, near-clean] Someone will say What is lost can never be saved Someone will say What is lost can never be saved (BAWK) [Outro... building back to full rage] And I still believe that I cannot be saved And I still believe that I cannot be saved A chicken... in a cage A chicken... in a cage (BA-GAWK)
