Happy Ox Lyrics


Grazing on a pasture one sunny day

taking a ride in a car with my herd.

Life was simple, I didn't need much

getting food to eat and shelter for the night.

I've never been beyond the farm

all so exciting new smells and new sights.

I didn't get to roam the plains

but I was cared for and lived in a safe place.

With a promise of security

we have traded away our freedom.

Just a happy ox led through the gates.

No resistance, no knowledge of what waits.

There's no heroic death, only slaughter and pain.

The meaning of life: to fill the oligarch's plates.

What my mother told me, what the teachers said

to defend the country against the evil west.

I've never been away from home

all so exciting, new clothes and new towns.

All aboard the train to take us where

we are needed to save our bretheren.
