Eye of the Chicken Lyrics

One, two, three, four

I can't believe I'm talking about that champagne that I vomited when I was checking my brother's diapers way back when

And it's okay because then again I can think about my youth and all the good times that I had and hoping that I had good parents and knowing that I did even though my mother threw furniture at me even if I tell my friends 'bout it

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is about the cosmic energy radiating from seemingly unintelligent and powerless chickens, animals that are farmed and exploited. Those sensitive to psychic energy know that inside us all is a pathway to God, and the chickens as outwardly peaceful beings are more open to that connection than most of us, and they can pierce our souls with their all-seeing inner eye, and know the truth about us, and the truth hidden in our innermost selves. And the singer gazes into this Eye and through it, is put in touch with long forgotten memories of caring for their sibling and their real feelings about their parents and can reflect on long buried conflicts and confront painful memories. Gaze into the Eye of the Chicken!
