lyrics

JOIN THE ELITE

Your father took you in hand and said
The Army will make you a man
Well either he thinks you’re screwing his Wife
Or he’s shares in Ammunitions
“You’re getting beneath me feet” he said
With leadership quality
Well Dad I’d rather wear your skin than join the infantry
But the papers say “You’ve joined The Elite”

Join The Elite, Part of the supreme
It’ll toughen you up especially when
That rigor mortis sets in
Join The Elite, be part of the team
It’ll toughen you up especially when
That rigor mortis sets in
Join The Elite; Cockfighting!

Well your ordeal by combat is someone else’s bet
Your game to be the target
Then your ‘game’ on someone’s plate
Like cocks that do the fighting
As we speculate to win
Speculate, accumulate and fabricate the war you’re in
It’s too late, You’ve joined The Elite

Join The Elite, Part of the machine
It’ll toughen you up especially when
That rigor mortis sets in
Join The Elite, part of regime
It’ll toughen you up especially when
That rigor mortis sets in
Join The Elite; Cockfighting!

Outraged my friends they were shocked
When they read this song
Compare the sport to these words
They’re bringing up his son
To fight to the end
Cockfighting, the metaphors relate to the truth

Don’t miss this opportunity
Of scooping tomorrow’s prize
Estimated a million jackpot
If you pick the winning side
“All the best of luck son”
Then a bottle of whisky got drank
You slipped into a drunken haze
Then he swapped your bullets for blanks
His money went on the enemy side
And he doesn’t plan for them to get beat
His money went on the other side
The savings went on your defeat
It’s too late, you joined the elite
