Answer to last week's question: Name this tune about cows and their struggle to be free & its author. Cows with Guns by singer/songwriter/activist Dana Lyons http://www.cowswithguns.com/homepage.html " We will fight for bovine freedom And hold our large heads high We will run free with the Buffalo, or die " At this site, you can download the lyrics and find out how to book Dana for an appearance at your favorite event :-) Here's the whole song for anyone interested - Intro ------ Am G Am [Am]Fat and docile, big and dumb They look so stupid, they aren't much fun [G]Cows aren't [Am]fun They eat to grow, grow to die Die to be et at the hamburger fry Cows well done Nobody thunk it, nobody knew No one imagined the great cow guru Cows are one He hid in the forest, read books with great zeal He loved Che Guevera, a revolutionary veal Cow Tse Tongue He spoke about justice, but nobody stirred He felt like an outcast, alone in the herd Cow doldrums He mooed we must fight, escape or we'll die Cows gathered around, cause the steaks were so high Bad cow pun But then he was captured, stuffed into a crate Loaded onto a truck, where he rode to his fate Cows are bummed He was a scrawny calf, who looked rather woozy No one suspected he was packing an Uzi Cows with guns They came with a needle to stick in his thigh He kicked for the groin, he pissed in their eye Cow well hung Knocked over a tractor and ran for the door Six gallons of gas flowed out on the floor Run cows run! He picked up a bullhorn and jumped up on the hay We are free roving bovines, we run free today We will [F]fight for bovine [C]freedom And [E]hold our large heads [Am]high We will [F]run free with the [C]Buffalo, or [E]die Cows with [Am]guns They crashed the gate in a great stampede Tipped over a milk truck, torched all the feed Cows have fun Sixty police cars were piled in a heap Covered in cow pies, covered up deep Much cow dung Black smoke rising, darkening the day Twelve burning McDonalds, have it your way We will fight for bovine freedom And hold our large heads high We will run free with the Buffalo, or die Cows with guns The President said " enough is enough These uppity cattle, its time to get tough " Cow dung flung The newspapers gloated, folks sighed with relief Tomorrow at noon, they would all be ground beef Cows on buns The cows were surrounded, they waited and prayed They mooed their last moos, they chewed their last hay Cows out gunned The order was given to turn cows to whoppers Enforced by the might of ten thousand coppers But on the horizon surrounding the shoppers Came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers We will fight for bovine freedom And hold our large heads high We will run free with the Buffalo, or die Cows with guns Copyright 1996 Lyons Brothers Music (BMI) PO Box 2627, Bellingham, WA 98227 USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
