Manizha — Russian Woman
Chickens cackle in their coop
Lay… ugh, ugh, ugh…
She clenches then sighs…
egg drops
Really quite appalling what they’ve done
Fully penned and prisoned, fuck my life
Staple on the menu, it’s not right
And my eggs were stolen yesterday at night
Chickens clench in unison
They’ve made it quite a routine stealing kids
Chickens clench in unison
And if we lay no more they fry our skin!
If we called the cops, they’d hear Double Cluck
Slaughtered all to cook up Parmiagiana or Coq au Vin
Squatting, rotting, hatching for a price?
Bid your kids goodbye and end up as…
Pie.
sighs
I choose death.
Hold it, what’s that smell?
Chickens run fanatically towards the grain
“Out! Out!”
“Grain! Grain!”
“Eat! Eat!”
“Hen! Hen!”
Every feather’s telling me to go
“Out! Out!”
Escape we won't be casserole
“Grain! Grain!”
Maybe then our young can live and grow
“Eat! Eat!”
It’s wrong our kids are ending up egg roll
“Hen! Hen!”
Locked up like some horror show
No freedom in sight
Lust for the world outside
Oh, please hear our plight!
In grain I’ll admit it
We’re “hello” fully addicted
Yet can’t shake this feeling
It’s dark what they did
But my insides lost feeling, lamenting my offspring
I’m must get outside where it’s all fucking gorgeous
I WAS TOLD IT WAS GORGEOUS - WITH ORCHARDS!
(I’m calm now)
A solution must happen
It’s time to get harder
We all going to “shit”
Showtime finally here!
She hacks at the wooden panel with her beak
This bird is breaking free, slavery may be a good enough fate for you
I'd rather be spared…
KFC menu
She pierces a small hole in the wall
There's outside! God answered!
Sunlight on my feathered skin
Not a soul in sight
Safe and secure, Lots of space here
Be free to roam, finally
Help me smash this gap, AGH!
More chickens hack at the wooden walls
“Out! Out!”
“Peck! Peck!”
Nirvana!
“Out! Out!”
I wanna see the world! Agh!
Facing death like sitting ducks, no more
“Out! Out!”
We've chickened out for long enough, let’s go!
“Peck! Peck!”
Seeing our brethren grow wise and old
“Out! Out!”
This summer will be memorable for all
“Peck! Peck!”
Hey wait a moment...
“Wait! Wait!”
Don't eat the grain, girls
“Grain! Grain!”
You there, don't fight!
“Fight! Fight!”
You're wrong, I'm right!
“Oh?”
Dumb chicken brains
“Dumb chicken brains!”
You'll dig your grave
“We'll dig our grave!”
Stop repeating
“Stop repeating!”
The stuff I said
(all) “The stuff you said!”
No outside (wails)
Hens aren't bright
If there could be unison, we'd be out alright
Some of them fight (wails)
Or sit in fright
The rest of them too lazy, eating day and night. Argh!
Chickens calmly go back to their beds
(all) “Cot! Cot!”
(all) “Grain! Grain!”
(all) “Brain rot!”
All of them lay an egg at the same time
