92.Adam Green - Steak for Chicken (Live at WFMU)
Singer/songwriter Adam Green is most known for his stint with the Moldy Peaches, but in the new millennium he also did the solo thing. His music is a sophisticated indie-folk mix, showcasing an appealing peculiarity similar to the likes of Leonard Cohen.
On first listen, Adam Green comes off as an eccentric acoustic singer song writer with some of the most perverted lyrics ever.The contrast between his lyrical style and his voice sure is puzzling at times. How can this deep, warm, resonant, and utterly believable voice sing such poppycock? All that aside, just listen to the song and be charmed.Steak for Chicken is a song by The Moldy Peaches off their debut album released to the public on September 11, 2001, the day of the World Trade Center attacks. This is acoustic version of song recorded from WFMU freeform radio.
Adam Green Steak For Chicken
Mardi Gras came and went
All my money has been spent
How am I gonna pay my rent
Sitting on your face
Who mistook the steak for chicken
Who am I gonna stick my dick in?
We're not those kids, sitting on the couch
My former life I was a high roller
Brought my kids in a diamond stroller
Found my calling as a part time bowler
Traded my wife for a new three-holer
Who mistook these baths for showers?
Who fucked up that leaning tower?
We're not those kids, sitting on the couch
Oh get on a greyhound and ride away
Live on birthday cake each day
Tell your grandparents that they're gay
Steal their money and run away
Cause me and my friends are so smart
We invented this new kind of art
Post modernist throwing darts
Smoking crack and cutting crack
Who mistook this crap for genius
Who is gonna stroke my penis
We're not those kids, sitting on the couch
Oh people are shiny like a brand new book
But if you get a closer look
There's shit on every hand you shook
If you don't believe me, ask a crook
Who made all these things for killing?
Whose pussy hole needs filling?
We're not those kids, sitting on the couch
Who mistook the steak for chicken?
Who am I gonna stick my dick in?
We're not those kids, sitting on the couch
