Put a cannon on the hilltop
Fire it at midnight
Send the cow out to the bookstore
Put the ponies back in school
The fields are filled with violets and dandolion blooms
While the farmers watch the soaps and make animal balloons
The wives are playing dominos with piglets in the barn
And the sheep are busy spinning all the wool into yarn
The horse is flying kites with the goat from down the road and the
Dog is playing chicken on a tractor that he stole.
The hen is dying Easter eggs to help out the Easter bunny
Because for all these years he has been her secret honey
The hay loft has been taken over by the rats and mice and
If the farmer wants it back he’ll have to pay with rice
The ducks down by the pond have started their own party
They started early last night by mixing coke and bacardi
People passing by the place won’t even take a look
They’re really all afraid they might get pulled into the book

WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH BOWELS, AND BLADDERS DOC'S ALWAYS SAY NOTHIN IS THE MATTER.
WE HAVE FAMILIES THAT SUFFER TOO IT IS BECAUSE OUR INSIDES ARE STUCK WITH "GLUE"
WE SEE DOCTOR AFTER DOCTOR, AND PAY ALL THE BILLS OUR BATTLE IT SEEMS IS ALWAYS UP HILL.
WE TAKE OUR PERCOCET, DEMORAL AND VICODIN THESE DOCTORS MAKE US FEEL LIKE IT IS A SIN.
DOCTORS TELL US IT IS ALL IN OUR HEADS HOW IS THAT SO, WHEN ALL DAY WE ARE IN BED.
THERE ARE TIMES WE HAVE OUR GOOD DAYS BUT THAT IS BECAUSE WE TOOK OUR MEDS AND ARE LEFT IN A HAZE.
WE ALL PROMISE TO STICK TOGETHER ALL THE DAYS BECAUSE WE ARE FAMILY IN MANY WAYS.
WE ARE RICH, POOR, BLACK AND WHITE, BUT WAIT, THERE IS A "CURE" IN SIGHT.
WE ARE WAITING FOR SPRAY GEL SO WE DON'T HAVE TO LIVE ONE MORE DAY OF HELL.
