lyrics

He said, "I'm leaving here today
And I ain't ever coming back"
To which the foreman replied
"Son, where's the fire at?"

You work like an animal all your life
In time it's what you become
So take this job and shove it
Where your daddy used to come

"Boy," declared the foreman
"The heat has fried your brains."
"It's true," said the man
"But I still remember my name."

In the abattoir

A stench swirled in the air
Around a sluggish fan
He found a cudgel with his eyes
And snatched it with his hands

The foreman drew a pistol
Whipped up a frenzy in the pit
"Goddamn you," said the foreman
"I'll roast you children on a spit."

The man stood fast & proud
And his club made doubtless his case
The foreman would have it soon
Applied across his face

In the abattior

"There's precious little soul left
Within my melting frame"
He said again, "Now go with God
But first pronounce my name"

And the sullen sows in mortal fear
Raised their inhuman cry
And the abattoir was glistening
From sty to bloody sty

A ripple in the foreman's hand
Replied with little grace
Though the man a moment stood
He fell flat on his fucking face

With a cackle and a snort
The foreman grimly said
"You served me well in life
Now you'll feed my hogs in death"

In the abattoir.
