Fable of the Urban Fox

They came in from the country They were hounded from their homes They'd always dreamed about the city With its towers and spires and domes So the dog fox and his vixen Vowed to flee their savage fields To a land of hope and glory And a future it could yield There's no rest however far we roam Somewhere on this earth, we will find home But the city didn't want the foxes, the city didn't care Their help and hope and heart and hearth they dreamed of weren't there So they scavenged and they foraged Slept from shitty place to places Among the hostile architecture And all the hostile faces There's no rest however far we roam Somewhere on this earth, we will find home And the daily papers found their plight and presence most concerning Their headlines screamed enough's enough, we're overcome with vermin These fucks that skulk around our streets The locals live in fear These scruffy scrounging parasites They don't belong 'round here There's no rest however far we roam Somewhere on this earth, we will find home One night they met a bulldog He said, "What you doing here, then?" They told him of the redcoats, of their fallen the hunted brethren They said, "There is no going home now, the land we love is cruel" The dog said, "Fuck off back to Foxland, these streets are fucking full" There's no rest however far we roam Somewhere on this earth, we will find home One cold and hungry night, they find their dinner sitting pretty The foxes can't believe their luck, who keeps chickens in the city? But the chicken lover sees them prowl his pricey habitat So he bashes both their heads in with his trusty cricket bat There's no rest however far we roam Somewhere on this earth, we will find home
