LYRICS you're one of the few privileged to avoid hunger and plunder the food pyramid you're healthy - but that's where the flattery ends because your cheap cheap habits support battery hens You want cheap cheap? Something has to pay the price I'm laying days and nights - with no labour rights you take away my life with a cheap devilish feed never breed or be freed thanks to a deep level of greed - I'm weak knee'd - my legs suffer and ache as I make cheap cheap eggs for your muffins and cake you buy sweet frappes and try meat pates and eat cheap cheap eggs in high street cafes -------------------------- dirty dozen x 2 i want my life, let me outside let me live in the light. when the text on the egg carton says: Cage Eggs, that's the dirty dirty dozen. There's no chicken yard, and the chickens are all sick and scarred, that's the dirty dozen eggs -------------------------- these shackles are engagement rings you purchased us surface rust on cages -- sores sting and burst with puss GMO corn is worthless - it doesn't work for us we eat worms and grubs -- from the earth and dust but it's worth it -- just, you got your cheap cheap eggs for your perfect crust and your sweet sweet spreads we get nothing extra for higher rates of delivery we're shy inmates, we die in crates or from misery cheap cheap - discreet breach under fowl conditions help change it, let's reach a hundred thousand listens remember 'cheap cheap' lengthens our collective screams and strengthens dreams of breeding electric pecking egg machines egg machines we are not egg machines been in lock down since I was a young chick never shake a tail feather or swing a drum stick I keep rocking steady, smoothing my comb over beak docking blues, I'm a confused cloned plover jail bird - we used to be free - shoot the breeze be introduced to cute roosters and roost in a trees we'll never get used to these bars - the dorm and pecking hall the new world pecking order - fauna wrecking ball - I'm dreaming of scratching in the hedgerow but I'm leaving in a body bag -- I hatched in death row you said so as you fed slow on pesto and French dough and ordered your eggs over easy down at the Metro well, your eggs bene imprisoned Henny Penny the slave driver gets a penny but she isn't getting any she'll never know motherhood or the wonder of spring with a family of her own huddled under her wing your money is a curse or heaven sent -- you can reverse any dent if you any sense about where your penny's spent your purse can end it -- your choice is their first amendment you can free Henny Penny from this irreverence with your benevolence
