lyrics

Put a foot forward
Seek the boar's fortune
that is sought by all

Its belly of bacon
a waning apple orchard
a nest of golden turds

Multiply what you had before by one hundred million
The value of the boar times one is one hundred million
And you can have it all with assertive work

Clap your anvil hands
against your abject chest
Pump some goddamn blood

Approach the near unknown
with a lightning bolt sword
Lop the head from its fibers

Multiply what you had before by one hundred billion
The value of the boar times one is one hundred billion
And you can hide it all in a lightless vault

Your family and friends will come
to view the boar but they'll want more
The neighboring towns will hunt you down
to prove the news reports
Your family and friends will come
to view the boar but they'll want more
The neighboring towns will burn yours down
and take the boar's corpse
The neighboring towns will burn yours down
and take everything
