The fish and fowl are ailing, the farmer's life is failing Where are all your backroom boys, your backroom boys won't save us now We're poisoned by the greedy, who plunder on the needy Leave the factory ... The time has come for action ... Words and music by Richard Thompson, ©1972 Warlock Music. See also: Richard Thompson's original lyrics.
