Freedom Rooster Lyrics


Let me tell you the story of the biggest cock in the neighborhood

A haram of hens appeared in his shadow wherever he stood

Well he's a bad mother-clucker with a fiery feathered tail

They call him freedom rooster & I'm gonna rhyme his tail with this tale

When he was hatched & just a chick

He was adopted by meth addicts

And taken to the wrong side of Bradyville Pike

There he was never allowed to roam

A barbwire cage was considered his home

They pumped him up full of steroids every night

He never was allowed to crow nor sing

only allowed to be thrown in the ring

Where he would face other poultry as his foes

That rooster, he was living rough

Living in a meth lab in a cage so stuffed

He only longed for a chance to spring & grow

Those junkies didn't know what they were raising

The only rooster ever worthy of praising

You'll state in disbelief, this rooster was no chief

He is the very symbol of justice & liberty

Hey freedom rooster!

Why don't you fly somewhere instead of being stuck in the Boro?

Fly freedom rooster!

Why don't you fly sometime & be somewhere else tomorrow?

It wasn't long before the pigs caught wind

That some white trash was slinging crystal sin

And running cockfights in a whore house tweaking speed

They busted in, demanding hands be raised

And arrested everybody in that place

And proceeded to search the entire property

that tricky rooster had been waiting on

Somebody to come & free him all along

He knew his opportunity had come at last

The cops popped open the first trunk they saw

From where our rooster sprung with pointed claw

And sprinted quicker than a cheetah with a wrench up his ass

Those coppers didn't know that they were chasing

The only rooster ever worthy of praising

He springs ferociously with tiny chicken feet

Those piggies couldn't snatch him off the Boro streets

Hey freedom rooster!

Why don't you fly somewhere instead of being stuck in the Boro?

Fly freedom rooster!

Why don't you fly sometime & be somewhere else tomorrow?

"Now this right here you're about to hear is what we call chicken picking down yonder in Tennessee. But for this song, we're gonna call it rooster picking, because this song is about one of them dang ol' cockadoodle doers. So let's clap our hands, stomp those feet, & praise Merle Travis! We’re about to have a hoe down: Flummox style."

It didn't take that rooster long

To spin the life he had before this song

He raised himself a poultry poly-colony family

He has a few wives & a few dozen kids

Living inside a white picket fence

That circles the old foreclosed meth'd out facility

He now patrols his neighborhood

Making sure that everyone's doing what they should

And if they're not, he's gonna come & peck out their eyes

Those cops don't fuck with the cock no more

They know their place & give him room to soar

His jurisdiction is the only thing keeping the place nice

That rooster didn't know how he's amazing

He is the only rooster worthy of praising

He's got his chicks to feed,

And all his hens to seed

He is the very symbol of the American dream

Hey freedom rooster!

Why don't you fly somewhere instead of being stuck in the Boro?

Fly freedom rooster!

Why don't you fly sometime & be somewhere else tomorrow?

This has been the story of the biggest cock in the neighborhood

Better have paid attention or you're gonna get your eyes pecked good

Cause he's a bad mother-clucker

with a fiery feathered tail

His name is Freedom Rooster & this is the end of his tale
