jello biafra & mojo nixon - hamlet chicken plant disaster lyrics
down in hamlet, north carolina
they had a chicken plant sure did explode
all them tar heels trapped like burnin’ rats
’cause the boss man chained the door closed
my mama was born in
a town called hamlet
sleepy little place on the seaboard line
my papa worked on the railroad
and my granny went out her mind
well the railroad
it went busted
like richmond county ain’t broke enough
and this yankee carpetbagger
want to make some money off hamlet’s bad luck
so he built a brand new chicken fixin’ plant
and they paid that minimum wage
but the boss man said no unions
or he gonna move his plant far away
merle etta johnson
she was late for work
heard a thunderin’ roar off the highway
must have been nascar over at rockingham
or a sign it was merle etta’s judgment day
8:15 in the mornin’
chicken plant burst into flames
people trampled, mashed and burned up
just to keep the profit margin
one iota higher
everybody gotta work in this world
some people lucky, some folks ain’t
but that b-st-rd chained the doors shut
i’m gonna rip him through the paint
when i was a little boy
with a buzzsaw hair cut
go down to hamlet to see the trains
now the tourists stop on the highway
take a little look at the chicken plant workers’ remains
