lyrics

Singing in the Slaughterhouse

It’s show-time back in Slaughter-town and those Carnies are on the streets. With their
smash-up derbies and their dodgem cars, and the lure of fresh sweetmeats
Forgive me, but it leaves me so
cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold

How do you keep on singing in the Slaughterhouse? Singing in the Slaughterhouse?

Watch the
Carnival from the cooler room, it’s all football, knives and beer
The Head Boner smiles when the carcass falls, his children live in fear
His daughter Monday lives so near

Monday’s got no child to hold, they took him from her home
He volunteers at St Vincent de Paul
but her heart’s as black as coal
coal, coal, coal, coal, coal, coal, coal, coal

How do you keep on singing in the Slaughterhouse? Singing in the Slaughterhouse?

Some kick up and some kick down, some hide far away from this house
And the slaughter that we all condone, mocks the morals in our mouths
When the boning knives lay still tonight, our town will then just bare its soul
It’s a hell hole, hell-hole, hell-hole, hell-hole

How do you keep on singing in the Slaughterhouse?
