ALEXIS' FARM

I ain’t gonna work on Alexis’ Farm no more
I ain’t gonna work on Alexis’ Farm no more
Alexis kicks my ass
She kicks it every nite and day
She kicks it every time I’m here
And she kicks it when I’m far away
But she does it in such a lovin way
No, I ain’t gonna work on Alexis’ Farm no more

I ain’t gonna work for the church no more
I ain’t gonna work for the church no more
I’m tired of them tellin me things
That I should and shouldn’t do
When you know they’re doin things
That are no good for me and you
Just ask the children if you need a clue
No I ain’t gonna work for the church no more

I ain’t gonna work for the republican’s no more
I ain’t gonna work for the republican’s no more
I’m tired of hatin people
Just because they ain’t like me
You know if guys could get pregnant
You get an abortion at Micky D’s
And if you’re gay well that’s okay by me
No I ain’t gonna work for the republican’s no more

I ain’t gonna work for the drug companies no more
I ain’t gonna work for the drug companies no more
I’m tired of all their drugs
All the drugs they’re sellin me
When all I really want to do
Is smoke some good old THC
And you know god gave us that for free
No I ain’t gonna work
For the drug companies no more

I ain’t gonna work for the war department no more
I ain’t gonna work for the war department no more
I’m tired of killin people
Killin everyone I see
Killin for a bunch of people
Who don’t give two shits about me
Like exxon-mobil, chevron and bp
No I ain’t gonna work
For the war department no more

I ain’t gonna work on Alexis’ Farm no more
I ain’t gonna work on Alexis’ Farm no more
Alexis kicks my ass
She kicks it every nite and day
She kicks it every time I’m here
And she kicks it when I’m far away
But she does it in such a lovin way
No I ain’t gonna work on Alexis’ Farm no more
