Fox in the Henhouse - Bruce T. Carroll

1. Fox in the Henhouse -5:27

There's a fox in the henhouse there's a wolf on a foal
There's a wreck in the yard, a tattered flag on a pole
Theres a chill in the house, a sick child in the bed
And the taxman's coming gonna wish you were dead
Better roll me over, Let me face the sky
Let me see whats comin'
With my one good eye
Better roll me over, Better pick me up
Better push me forward
Better wish me luck
'Cause there's a fox in the henhouse

We built this house with blood and bone
This town was built with steel and stone
We seeded fields with hope and dreams
Plucked fruit from trees and fish from streams
This town produced no clowns or fools
'Til they shut the plant and closed the schools
Now dad cant work and his hands still shake
There's not much more than he can take
Better roll me over, Let me face the sky
Let me see whats comin'
With my one good eye
Better roll me over, Better pick me up
Better push me forward
Better wish me luck
'Cause there's a fox in the henhouse

We built farms and factories
We built churches and schools
We wrote detailed histories
And songs about villains and fools
We worked hard together
Huddled close against the cold
Built a better life together
And together we grew old
Now there's a fox in the henhouse

One well blows up one well runs dry
Fortunes change in the wink of an eye
One train runs early one runs late
Theres a pileup on the interstate
This town produced no clowns or fools
Til they raised the fees and changed the rules
Now mom's come down with shakes and chills
And she cant live without her pills
We built farms and factories
We built churches and schools
We wrote detailed histories
And songs about villains and fools
We worked hard together
Huddled close against the cold
Built a better life together
And together we grew old
He's a stone cold liar
He's a well know cheat
He's a soulless coward
Born on easy street
He's a wily ******** mephisto
He's a silver tongued ***son of a *******
Stole the reins from our hands
Drove us straight into a ditch
There's a fox in the henhouse
There's a fox in the henhouse
There's a fox in the henhouse
There's a fox in the henhouse
