Michael Ward - Chicken Blood and Gin Lyrics

Masters of the universe
Keepers of the flame
Those that take their portions first
And parcel out the blame
What's the secret what's their deal?
From what well this wisdom they reveal?
But if you look beyond the spin
You'll find its only chicken blood and gin
Captains on the rolling sea
So proud to do their part
Admirals of industry
Of pure and pious heart
Their iron will their subtle schemes
How do they rule our daily dreams?
I feel the pull beneath my skin
But it's only chicken blood and gin
And it pulls me down
Until I'm sniffling like a dog
On the cold, cold ground
Lost up in a bloody fog
Just another hungry hound
Following a muddy trail
All too glad to wag my tail
'Cause I was hypnotized
Looking down you think you're flying
Hypnotized
I said I was hypnotized
Flying high you're barely trying
Oh hypnotized
Ministers of aimless toil
Building broken hearts
Digging deep in native soil
Down where our sorrow starts
Some say bargain some say greed
These deals we do to meet our needs
The answer comes from deep within
It's only chicken blood and gin
