Lyrics:

All I need is some inspiration
Before I do somebody some harm
I feel just like a vegetable
Down here on the farm

Nobody comes to see me
Nobody here to turn me on
I ain't even got a lover
Down here on the farm

They told me to get healthy
They told me to get some sun
But boredom eats me like cancer
Down here on the farm

Drinking lemonade shanty
Ain't nobody here to do me harm
But I'm like a fish out of water
Down here on the farm

I wrote a thousand letters
'til my fingers all gone numb
But I never see no postman
Down here on the farm

I call my baby on the telephone
I say, come down and have some fun
But she knows what the score is
Down here on the farm

I can't fall in love with a wheat field
I can't fall in love with a barn
When everything smells like horseshit
Down here on the farm

Blue skies and swimming pools
Add so much charm
But I'd rather be back in Soho
Than down here on the farm

On the fucking farm!

Are you born in a fucking barn or what?

Baaaaaa!

Hold still


Quotes regarding the song

I would imagine that when we did 'Down On The Farm' we were just doing it for the fun of it. And it was sounding good so we recorded it. And then we went and played it at Farm Aid.
Q, March, 1994

I like "Down On The Farm", it's a good song, with attitude.

My favorite track off “The Spaghetti Incident?” was “Down on the Farm”.

Two accent experts comment on Axl's fake British accent and think he did quite well; Spin, June 2001:
