Song Meaning of “Better Than Chicken” by Jackyl
“Better Than Chicken” by Jackyl celebrates the power of determination and perseverance in the face of adversity. The narrator of the song reminds us that courage and strength can often be hard to come by and that there are those who have worked hard to make their lives better. The chorus encourages the listener to “grit your teeth, dig in your feet, and never quit, cuz it’s better than chicken.” The metaphor of overcoming difficulties being “better than chicken” implies that it can be hard work but it is worth it in the end. The song also acknowledges that while some people may have gotten a head start in life and it may have been smoother for them, that doesn’t mean that things can’t improve for everyone if they do the work. Through the narrator’s inspiring words, Jackyl issues a challenge to weather whatever storms may come and to never give up.
