Attitude Chicken Lyrics

Attitude Chicken lyrics

Later on that evening when



I thought I'd had enough



I sat down in a restaurant and



Over powdered drugs



I ordered up some dew-soaked lettuce



Picked by virgin hands



Nestling on a bed of



Pearl encrusted clams



Well the waiter's name was Renee and



He told me how his aunt



Who had 47 children



And how they'd always planned



To grow the smallest vegetables in



All the kingdom's land



"They're poor," he said "but happy and



Well that's what really counts"



And every evening after



Their 20 hour day



They'd sleep content imagining



That restaurant far away



Where fat fucks in designer suits



Would order over deals



The smallest portions of these



Tiny morsels for their meals







Still the blood it clots



And the hearts get stricken



See everybody's searching for...that attitude chicken







My Porsche got stuck in traffic and



My girlfriend said get real



How dare you get me stuck here



How d'you think that made me feel



I got a Yamaha 5 Million



A bike was what I needed



With my name spelt on the number plate



Like Paul Revere on speed



Yes my girlfriend's name is Anne



But she says the K is silent



Put the H after the A or



She gets "rilly violent"



She wears designer jewels



And she's got designer clothes



Which go with her designer mouth



Eyes, ass, tits and nose







And she does another line



And she's talking finger lickin'



And that's my signal to send our for...that attitude chicken







A special breed



That fills the need



Is bred to feed



The endless greed







Yes it's poultry time



For all you little kittens



Let's get hip and do...attitude chicken







Now when she comes she screams designer screams



At precisely the right moment



Loud enough so the neighbours hear



And think I'm really potent



She's considerate like that



Which is why I guess I love her



And by that I hope you don't think



That I am trying to smother



Her uniqueness or her freedom



To find some other lovers



And express herself sexually



In attempting to discover



The inner self that every modern woman



In the land



Has a democratic right to



Which I as modern man



Of course respect and understand



And indeed can empathise with



Appreciate, articulate



Feel for and sympathise with



And any reference I might make



To her sexually



Has been vetted and approved of



by the Woman's Commissary







Still the plans get hatched



And the plots the thicken



See everybody's looking for...that attitude chicken







Neatly packaged politics



For all the little minds



it's the special interest lobby



For these multi-cultured times



The Politically Correct



Are the Nazis of our time



When it's the freedom of ideas



That makes man civilised







Let's drag out the old scapegoat



If he's still alive and kicking



And go riding off in glory for that...attitude chicken







Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble



Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck



Attitude chicken







I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
