lyrics

Elly Formbury get out of the farm
You got to escape his craven arms
Hell it's time to hit it pretty hard
You got to escape those craven arms

You hid a chick in the unborn breeze
But that's not what I came to see
The farmer's dad looks dead to me
What went wrong when you chucked those seeds?

The crops at night are fit to freeze
The men who stop by leave their sleaze
Tired acres out in the breeze
This year cut you off at the knees

Agroculture, blades in leaves
Frozen chicks hid up your sleeve
Your tilling it, you're killing it
Your work is done -
time to look out for number one

Elly Formbury get out of the farm
You got to escape his craven arms
Hell it's time to hit it pretty hard
You got to escape those craven arms

190 seconds to get to the barn
25 seconds to understand the art
I got 30 stacks of charm
to get us through the winter part

Isn't it or wasn't it a fight for John
the farmer's help who loved your mum
Local lad slashed down by the lake
I'll help you avenge then cultivate

You're tilling it, you're killing it
Your work is done
Time to look after number one

Freeze it
Feeling it
Fix it to your arm -
run with me to the better part

Elly Formbury get out of the farm
You got to escape his craven arms
Hell it's time to hit it pretty hard
You got to escape those craven arms

Simon says their must be 50 ways
to leave your farmer in the haze
of later life
with early pain
dawn's light seeping into the brain

Agroculture blades in leaves
frozen dicks hid up your sleeve
Agroculture blades in leaves
kick his ass it's time to leave
