We've been going round and round

you've played to the roaring crowd

you're snipping at my heels

buzzing in my ear

roll your tongue out longer

then I'll bite it off of you


bled for your pompous gestures

and your trivial crusades

but you keep tugging on my chain

rattling my cage

all the while your

devoted faithful look on


bull takes fighter

I say it's now or never


this thought might bring you comfort

we're restoring balance to the universe

the cost of your overwhelming sense of liberty

is always paid in someone else's blood


how long have I cowered underneath

your swords, your spears, your biting teeth?

it's always the same

and you love it that way

I think if I should fall here

I'll make sure you cushion the blow


bull takes fighter

I say it's now or never


this thought might bring you comfort

we're restoring balance to the universe

the cost of your overwhelming sense of liberty

is always paid in someone else's blood


this thought might bring you comfort

we're restoring balance to the universe

the cost of your overwhelming sense of liberty

is always paid in someone else's blood


always, always

always paid

always paid

always paid

always paid in someone else's blood
