[Intro]
It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train
It's far, far away, behind the moon, beyond the rain
Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore
Oaahh!

[Verse 1]
A-there's a cockroach in my coffee
There's a needle in my arm
A-and I feel like New York Cittay
A-get me to the farm

[Chorus]
A-get me to the farm
A-get me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm

[Verse 2]
I got terminal uniqueness
I'm an egocentric man
I get caught up in my freakness
But I ain't no Peter Pan
Get me to the farm

[Chorus]
A-get me to the farm
A-get me to the farm
Get me

[Verse 3]
Buckle up straight jack
Sanity is such a drag
Jellybean thorazine
Transcendental jet lag
Sanity I ain't gotta
Feeling like a piñata
Sucker punch
Blowing lunch
Motherload
Pigeonholed
I'm feeling like I'm going to explode

[Guitar solo]

Yeah, I wanna shave my head
I want to be a Hare Krishna
Tattoo a dot right on my head
And the Prozac is my fixer
I am the livin' dead

Follow the yellow brick road
Follow the yellow brick road
[Audio samples from "Wizard of Oz"]

[Chorus]
A-take me to the farm
A-take me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm

Take me to the farm
A-take me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm

Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm

Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm

Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm

Take me to the farm
A-take me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm

[Outro]
And I'm sure to get a brain
Uh huh, uh huh
Tonight

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
