Lyrics The Real McKenzies

The Real McKenzies

Culling The Herd

Great pharaoh of today

Junked up a modern-day crusade

Oh what a clever charade

Great Western garden states

Break laws to keep the people down

A self elected clown

Take the children of the nation

Offer them an education

Life or death is no vacation

On a covert operation to

Do what they tell you to do

[Chorus:]

Put em in a uniform

Start culling the herd

Orient the ordnance

Start culling the herd

Religion holds instruction

To be a weapon of mass distraction

Soon they'll make a martyr of you

Engage take the flak

Stretched out on a rack by the pool

For a barrel of crude

Holy mission of atrition

Politicians coalition

Are you going? Yes I am

I'll see you in Afghanistan in June

Marching in a platoon
