In a meadow of grass and golden light

A noble is born to fall in flight

While the slaughter to feed just grows and grows

Where's the pity for those who serve our souls


Animal animal run away

Animal animal don't delay


Oh what a shame

Savour the blood and guts of it all

Ball and chain

Over and over again


With the wind at your back on rainy nights

Do you ever give thanks and say alright

For the leather that's warmed the self esteem

While the humble and dumb provide the screams


Animal animal run away

Animal animal don't delay


Oh what a shame

Wearing the cuts and the bruise of it all

Ball and chain

Over and over again
