Chemical Warfare Lyrics
Guarded day and night by caged white rabbits
Been sitting there for years
I'm gonna have at it
I cut through the fence, run right in, and grab it
Go crazy crazy crazy crazy...
Climb on a tree on a branch and drop it
On a country club full of Saturday golfers
So I can watch them die
Chokin' shakin'in convulsions
Go crazy crazy crazy crazy
Crazy crazy crazy crazy...
Chemical Warfare Warfare Warfare
See the headless chickens runnin'
Golf carts head on crashin'
Crackin'heads wide open
Scratch the grass, mister, you can't breath
And roll and writhe
In a sandtrap
Starting to heave
Claw those clubs, lemme see you seethe
Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy
Chemical Warfare Warfare Warfare
Yellow clouds
Blowin' down down down the fairway
Sensitive to the touch
Mowin' down the putting green
Heading straight for the big clubhouse
Where the stuffed country club
Effervescnet ladies, so carefree
Relax, pose by the pool
Limber limp with a dry martini
Until....
Great song! The politicians and aristocrats in 'high society' are happy to give the order to condemn hundreds/thousands of people in foreign lands to their deaths with horrific chemical and biological weapons. Good ol' Jello fantasises about giving them a taste of their own medicine, down in their natural habitat.
I think it's more about how it's way too easy to get weapons.
This song is about killing rich people at a country club with mustard gas.
This song also touches on Biafra's distaste for golf.
The one by Slayer has the same name but sounds completly differant and has completly differant lyrics
I also think it's about how it is easy to get weapons. DK RULES!!!!
Upon first hearing, one might think this song is sick and perverted, like "forest fire" - makes for a nice anti yuppie double feature...
but after some time, or if you're more clever than me (pfft), instantly, you can appreciate it as a satirical dark fantasy never to be fulfilled but to play loudly on your car radio when driving by the local golf club. the power of words!
There is a golf course adjacent to a desolate trail me and my friends go to hike and smoke pot, and the golfers there always launch golf balls at us. I even saw them launching golf balls at deer once. Assholes.
I feel this song. xD
Yeah, it's about nerve-gassing golfers.
In the introduction to this song in the album "Take Me To Your Leader," a live concert recorded in 1979 and released on August 12, 2021, Jello Biafra says "...this is a song about a place called the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, who [sic] leaves cannisters full of nerve gas right next to the runway of the Denver International Airport! It's easy to steal."
Sounds like fun to me. I need some this to take to the golf course in my city.
