jen and the erics - death and poultry lyrics

2 men travelling a desert road
a mile south of nowhere, hauling a full load and
riding through the h+llish heat and pouring rain
you could tell before you saw ’em that their ears were in pain ‘cos
their cargo was clucking
every d+mn second that their cart was trucking
so why were they smiling cheek to cheek
in a situation that should really be bleak? well it’s
all part of their great plan
to get rich and retire as soon as they can but
even great plans go awry
whatever chance they had was do or die
opportunity
work and misery
opportunity
death and poultry

two men travelling a desert road
up ahead a band of bandits wait to steal their gold
jumping out onto the sandy track
they stop the horses from the front and close in quick from the back. “well
we’ll be taking what you’ve got”
the bandits say as they smack their clubs. when they
pulled back the cover to see what lay
they found a hundred chickens in muddy hay, and
so the bandit sighed
“we want no part of this hassle now off you ride”
onwards to the nearest trading town
the men continued on their journey not a single chicken down
opportunity
sleight and deceit
opportunity
death and poultry
two men travelling across a desert saw the
local sheriff at the next state border
when he asked for the paperwork
he was handed a chicken and told to look
inside this chick he found
something that turned his frown around
“it’s a gift for your stellar work”
said the men, and the sheriff looked up with a smirk
“i can tell your hearts are pure
so i’ll let you go for just one more”
and the wheels turn again on this chicken cart
off they ride, mr sheriff au revoir
opportunity
honour and bribery
opportunity
death and poultry

two men camping on the final stretch and
dreaming of the riches they’re about to fetch
“no more work for us my friend”
“we can throw away our spades and just forget”
but while they sat around
a pack of coyotes were attracted by the sound
the light of the fire let the two men see
as the beats closed in looking ready to eat
the choice they had was this
do they give up what they carry or take the risk
and fight
in the dying light
opportunity
oh that blinding greed
opportunity
honour and bribery
opportunity
slight and deceit
opportunity
work and misery
death and poultry
