Taste’s Like Chicken

Wes Heine


The singer is a stripper, and is above daughters bed
hanging by scotch tape, sticky visions in her head
& son’s got a good job till the factory closed
So he joined the army to fight someone we don’t know
            & the KFC ain’t chicken
            & the tits aren’t real
            It’s an oil pump economy


    built on sex-appeal
            The rock & roll is automatic
            & the car runs on blood
            You can save your soul
    but do you believe in love?



Mommy lost her pension so now she’s doing porn
They’re stroking it to the footage of you being born
& if it don’t make you sick then look at what we’re eating
We’re fed like a baby-bird, but who does the chewing?
            & the KFC ain’t chicken
            & the hero’s are dead
            The babies wanna be gangsters
            & kill what’s sacred
            Well so be it, but
            let’s not kill each other
            Think what you’re gonna build
    before you set it all on fire


Cause after the apocalypse when there’s Marshal Law
we can see who we eat first when we draw straws
To taste human flesh when nothing is left
When we’re cutting up that food, oh buddy I hope that it’s you
            Because the KFC ain’t chicken
            & the hero’s are dead
            The babies wanna be gangsters
            & kill what’s sacred
            The music is automatic
            & the car runs on blood
            You can save your soul
    but only if you believe in love
