the residents - what have my chickens done now? lyrics
old woman:
what have my chickens done now
young girl:
she took a mouse out of a pouch
and made me put it in my mouth
5 sisters:
we call out her name
and beg for a shaming
young girl:
she made me spit and shake and scream
she made me make myself unclean
old woman:
she calls out my name
but i’m not to blame, but
maybe my chickens know how
old woman:
i don’t know why she told on me
i’m sick and sad and eighty three
young girl
i knew when i named her
the devil had claimed her
old woman:
it must be my chickens somehow
they accused my daughter and
scratched her on the face and hand
they bite their toungues and bear their t–th
then they scratch me til i bleed
5 sisters:
as long as she remains
we will keep her in pain
i know her chickens are foul
old woman:
i know i’m not to blame
but i’m tired of the bloodstains
i have to find a way out
under stress i did confess
just to make them stop, i guess
what can my chickens do now?
5 sisters:
we knew if named her
god would not claim her
old woman:
my pain was in vain
for they were all against me
5 sisters:
around her neck they tied a noose
and they k!lled her family, too
young girl:
only her chickens know now
