How do you pick the meat off the ground
If you’re paralyzed from the neck down?
That’s incredible: tombstone pile driver
Snatch your neck and chant for survivors
Come here and pack the meat with your teeth
Wrap the cellophane, boy it’s neat
Faster, faster, you crippled bastard
Pack the meat and obey your master
I don’t follow no ADA
I don’t care what the statutes say
Quitza-quitza quadriplegic meatpacker
Packin’ the meat regardless of laughter
I have no use of hands and feet
Nor my torso or anything below my knees
So I pack the meat with my mouth
Then all the people say: gross yuck, you dumb louse
But my employer is equal opportunity
U - N - I - T - Y’s for unity
Meat pack, meat pack, mitza-mitza meat pack
Quadriplegic handicap setback
Yo, I follow my goal – believe in myself
Regardless however I endanger your health
So don’t come over here actin’ up
Cuz I might soil myself with bad luck
So don’t come over and smack my head
Cuz I can’t retaliate, cuz I’m almost dead
