She put a message up on Spacebook.
Am. E
She lost two pounds in the last week
C. G
The same two pounds that she lost last month.
E Am
The only pounds that she won’t keep

Remembering when I was in high school
I had a calf for FFA
I fed him grain and hay and cottonseed meal
He gained about a pound a day

And then my agriculture teacher
Gave me this pill to give my steer
Beneath the skin on his left shoulder
Oh, my! What have we here?

       A

TWO POUNDS. He gained two more pounds a day
F#m
TWO POUNDS. That made three pounds every day
D. E
A single hormone pill. That’s not much, but still, TWO
Am
POUNDS

My calf would piss out in the pasture.
Spread his pies there at my feet
Rains would wash it to the river
It would reside there in his meat

It’s called Diethylstilbestrol
DES will do the trick
We drink the water eat the burger.
Then wonder why we get so sick

We blame ourselves because we are ugly
We blame ourselves when we get fat
We blame ourselves when we get cancer
The Rich would want us to do that

TWO POUNDS. He gained two more pounds a day
TWO POUNDS. That made three pounds every day
A single hormone pill. That’s not much, but still TWO POUNDS
