Laurence O'Keefe - Apology to a Cow lyrics

[BAT BOY] I'm sorry, friend, I have to I know, I know, it's rude I shouldn't work my problems out with food I'm sorry pal, I've got to It's either me or you. Fight or be beaten! Eat or be eaten! Look what it makes me do It's stronger than it was and this is what the bat child does Deep in the cave under miles of stone, I knew no word for sad Singing to echoes and all alone, needed no mom or dad I'd never dreamed of the world above; I'd never seen the sky And yet I was content; I never wondered why I never knew such a word as rage. I learned that from you You locked your boy up inside a cage, and all the while you knew Why bother giving me dad's old shirt, why even intervene? Why bother washing off all the dirt, if I am still unclean? You said you'd never hurt me, mom, whatever might occur! So: How could you dare, Mom Make me "aware", Mom Teach me to care, Mom And then deny me her! We had a chance at happiness, blissfully unaware... We had a love we thought you'd bless, we didn't have a prayer 'Cause you had to come destroy our love Like everything else I had! Yet still I am content and I am not the least bit mad... No, I'm not here to harm you; I only want to KILL! You shall have your monster- I shall drink my fill! At last I am embracing my bloody destiny! Dear Mom and Dad, this face will be The last thing that you ever see! Revenge will be a home for me For me For me For ME!
