Another rainy morning mingling at the market
Bartering for food for another day
Rifle shots ring out behind the crumbling buildings
Executions have begun
Sprawled in the square are today's broken bodies
Lots to pick clean if you're first and quick
Rift through their pockets, peel off their clothes
To wear or sell when you wash out the blood
Run my little brother
Run to the chicken farm
Opportunity is calling
You might even find a watch
We're going down
To the chicken farm
Napalm rains no more
But the war goes on
Little brother died playing at the dump today
He found a new toy and held it up proud
Then it blew him to bits
How many more children
Will be killed or die at birth
Deformed by Agent Orange
In our food chain forever more
We're going down
To the chicken farm
This time we'll buy our way out
I've got a plan; you wait and see
I smuggled you this map
In the gash I sliced in my thigh
I hope I'm there to join you, love
We're blown to bits one by one in this camp
We crawl shaking through the fields at gunpoint all day
To defuse leftover landmines-by hand
We shiver on the deck and stiffen for the worst
If the pirates come around we might as well be dead
We'll be thrown in the sea
Or butchered if we're women
All in the name of gold
One foot in a land we can barely understand
Can't speak the tongue of Yankee hospitality
Our kids at school get beat up
To the tune of "Boat people, go home"
Sliced with a machete
From the breast of our homeland
Our new world tries to spit us out
But it sure beats the chicken farm
The Dead Kennedys are an American punk band formed in San Francisco in the 1970s. Known for their provocative musical style and politically charged lyrics, they achieved immense popularity in the underground music scene of the 1980s. Their debut album, *Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables* (1980), contained iconic singles like «California Über Alles» and «Holiday in Cambodia», which made them famous internationally. In 1981, the single «Too Drunk to Fuck» even reached the British charts. In 1985, the album *Frankenchrist* sparked controversy for its cover inspired by an H.R. Giger painting, accusing the band of distributing obscene material to minors. The ensuing trial ended with a hung jury, but legal pressures led to the group's dissolution. The Dead Kennedys partially reunited in the early 2000s and resumed performing from 2001.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
