"All Pot No Chicken" lyrics

"All Pot No Chicken"

Land of the free and the home of the brave
For a man to make a living, sure gotta pay these days
You gotta pay the pauper, pay the rent
You gotta pay the donkey and the elephant

Too many cooks in the kitchen, making rainbow stew
All pot no chicken, giving me the red, white, and blues
I've done so much for so little for way too long
They think it's so simple to do anything yet nothing at all

Got war on the tv, we got bad news in the papers
Yeah they take whatever's ours and then they blame it on the neighbor
We got people robbing Peter just to pay back Paul
We got doubters and believers and they fooled us all

Too many cooks in the kitchen, making rainbow stew
All pot no chicken, giving me the red, white, and blues
I've done so much for so little for way too long
They think it's so simple to do anything yet nothing at all

Too many cooks in the kitchen, making rainbow stew
All pot no chicken, giving me the red, white, and blues
I've done so much for so little for way too long
They think it's so simple to do anything yet nothing at all
