[Intro]
 
E
E D E D
 
[Verse]
 
E
Another rainy morning mingling at the market
E
Bartering for food for another day
E
Rifle shots ring out behind the crumbling buildings
E
Executions have begun
E
Sprawled in the square are today's broken bodies
E
Lots to pick clean if you're first and quick
E
Rifle through their pockets, peel off their clothes
E
To wear or sell when you wash out the blood
E
Run, my little brother
E
Run to the chicken farm
E
Opportunity is calling
E
You might even find a watch
 
[Chorus]
 
E D E A D
We're going down to the chicken farm
E D E A D
We're going down to the chicken farm
G F G C F
We're going down to the chicken farm
E D C#
We're going down to the chicken farm
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
 
E
Napalm rains no more but war goes on
E
Little brother died playing at the dump today
E
He found a new toy and held it up proud
E
Then it blew him to bits
E
How many more children
E
Will be killed or die at birth?
E
Deformed by Agent Orange
E
In our food chain forever more?
 
[Chorus 2]
 
E D E A D
We're going down to the chicken farm
E D E A D
We're going down to the chicken farm
G F G C F
We're going down to the chicken farm
E D C#
We're going down to the chicken farm

[Bridge]
 
B
This time we'll buy our way out
B
I've got a plan, you wait and see
B
I smuggled you this map
B
In the gash I sliced in my thigh
B
I hope I'm there to join you, love
B
We're blown to pieces one by one in this camp
B
We crawl shaking through the fields at gunpoint all day
B E D E D
To defuse leftover landmines by hand, hand, hand
 
[Verse 3]
 
E
We shiver on the deck and stiffen for the worst
E
If the pirates come around, we might as well be dead
E
We'll be thrown in the sea or butchered if we're women
E
All in the name of gold
E
One foot in a land we can barely understand
E
Can't speak the tongue of Yankee hospitality
E
Our kids at school get beat up
E
To the tune of "Boat people, go home"
E
Sliced with a machete
E
From the breast of our homeland
E
Our new world tries to spit us out
E
But it sure beats the chicken farm
 
[Chorus 3]
 
E D E A D
We're going down to the chicken farm
E D E A D
We're going down to the chicken farm
G F G C F
We're going down to the chicken farm
E D C#
We're going down to the chicken farm
 
[Outro]
 
E D E D E
Farm, farm, farm
