Our Bovine Public

D'you think I'd have to choose?

D'you think I'd wear brown shoes?

D'you think that I'd ever have to read about this in the news?

You're gonna have a go?

Well I don't want to know

I just thought that I should try and say hello

To those who'd never exist

without being generic

You'll have to impress

Our bovine public

You'd never exist

if you wasn't generic

You'll have to impress

Our bovine public

I'll never forget how all this begun

And I will never regret a thing I have done

But you would never exist without us.

So maybe I do not have the time

Fair-weather friends of mine

A year's a long time to be doing nothing with your life

I heard you felt alert

Well I'm hoping that it hurt

You seem to spend too much time in groundwork to be ground into the dirt

By those who'd never exist

without being generic

You'll have to impress

Our bovine public

You'd never exist

if you wasn't generic

You'll have to impress

Our bovine public

I'll never forget how all this begun

And I will never regret a thing I have done

But you would never exist without us.

You say nothing

So you will always mean nothing to me

And if what you say means nothing

Then what you say will always mean nothing to me

D'you think I'd have the time

Fair-weather friends of mine

A year's a long time to be doing nothing with your life

I heard you felt alert

Well I'm hoping that it hurt

You seem to spend too much time in groundwork to be ground into the dirt

By those who'd never exist

without being generic

You'll have to impress

Our bovine public

You'd never exist

if you wasn't generic

You'll have to impress

Our bovine public

I'll never forget how all this begun

And I would never regret the one thing I've done

But you would never exist without us

So maybe I do
