ANIMAL FARM



performed on:
Nick Parker offers a charismatic performance on this assured piece of Dead Kennedys philosophizing. "Animal Farm" is bruising, hook-filled punk, marked by brutal ska horns and a weird swing interlude. It's been said that this song began life as a bridge to "Bear's Brother," but there has been no concrete evidence to that effect.


she believes in pleasure
the bird does not appear
I'll sleep in the house
you take the hilltop

it's an easy life
ring around the rosie
on my farm
on the farm

So let's propose a toast
To the man in charge so to speak
We'll laugh and laugh
We'll laugh and pay

it's an easy life
ring around the rosie
on the farm
on the farm

Murder and strife
Are just a game
In the back of my mind
In our strange new town
