Intro

All the fur and fin will lose again
Cause our better is their worst reckonin'
And our fine-feathered friends will sing until they bleed
And how will we replace that symphony?
I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin
Satisfy my sugar tongue again
Sing me lullabies of shoe-shine days
Guilded verses for your ethylene
And sing em to me free and clean
All the kids come home with foreign limbs , , ,
From hunting trips abroad they lose again , , ,
And we'll teach them how to talk and whistle while they walk
And do the dirty work of battle hymns Gm, Am, Dm Dm

Guilded verses for your ethylene , C*
And sing it to me free and clean , (to )
