Brother Hen-Villagers

Brother Hen comes to wake me again With his coffee and cream It sure is nice and I’m much obliged But it’s half of what it seems ‘Cause he’s been dishing the dirt again Like some broken machine Too out of date to operate Half of what it seems So now I go, I go But I’ll see you in your dreams Just another bird in a half-lit world Half of what it seems See Brother Hen now they’ve got you again It’s the same old routine They’re selling lies like pizza pies And it’s half of what it seems Were you an ally or a crutch? Was I hard of hearing or out of touch? And were we really up to much back then? Brother Hen? And nature tells of the danger below The power of the extreme We never learn what we’ve always known And it’s half of what it seems So Brother Hen when you wake me again With your coffee and cream Well don’t be scared if I’m not there It’s just half of what it seems
