You silly old cow

Where are you off to
You silly old cow
You have a chain in your neck
That keeps chaining your step
Yet you walk on and on
As if in a daze
You silly old cow
Don’t you know
You have nowhere to go
And you won’t get anywhere
If you don’t know where you’re going
You silly old cow
Have you had anything to eat
Or you’ll manage just fine
Go wash up at least
You should have been in line
You silly old cow
Did you look at others
Aren’t they better off than you
You should have been more like them
Then you would have been better too
You silly old cow
Just walking on and on
Dragging that chain in your neck along
You silly old cow

“But. But I do have something to say
I’ll say it anyway”
“It won’t be that long
Before I break that chain”
“I broke it once before
When my walk began”
“I walk on to see
What part of the world is me”
“Confidence and poise
Well, I’ll let them be”
“I don’t know what
And I don’t know how”
“I guess that makes me
Your silly old cow”
