Trapped
Tricked
Hoodblinked
Ambushed
Friend, what's on yer mind?
Why do you walk around and around?
With your hands folded behind
And your chin scrapin' the ground?
Oh fellas I don't believe it
Twenty minutes ago I am free like the breeze
Free like a bird in the woodland wild
Free like a gypsy, free like a child
I'm a happy man
I am minding my own business like I oughter
Ain't meanin' any harm to anyone
I'm talking to a certain farmer's daughter—
And then I'm looking into the muzzle of a gun
It's getting so you cain't have any fun
Every daughter has a father with a gun
It's a scandal, it's an outrage
How a gal gets a husband today
If you make one mistakе when the moon is bright
Then thеy tie you to a contract
So you'll make it ev'ry night
It's a scandal, it's an outrage
When her family surround you and say
"You gotta take and make an honest womern outta Nell!"
To make you make her honest, she will lie like hell
It's a scandal, it's an outrage
On our manhood, it's a blot
Where is the leader who will save us?
And be the first man to be shot?
Me?
Yes you
It's a scandal, it's an outrage
Jist a wink and a kiss and you're through
You're in a mess, and in less than a year, by heck
There's a baby on your shoulder making bubbles on your neck
It's a scandal, it's an outrage
Any farmer will tell you it's true
A rooster in a chickencoop is better off'n men
He ain't the special property of just one hen
It's a scandal, it's an outrage
But there's going to be a day
We're gonna win our liberation
And you
Me?
Will lead the way
