Why are they blaming me

The cattle industry

Why are they blaming me

they do this because

they are ignorant

and with their arrogance

they can’t see

 

beyond their nose

beyond that concept

of the bucks they lose

their husbandry is very poor

but of course they refuse

 

to see, that it’s of their making

t’ween the rock and the hard place

the markets that they sell to

are powerful corporate  ones

who seek much lower prices

and they do have powerful guns

 

and so the cattle keeper

has to look about

for other excuses to somehow

put things into doubt

so the Wolf and the Coyote

and the Badgers get the grief

predators or TB carriers

there is no relief

 

and Science can be bought of course

and government can step in

as ignorant as the day is long

steeped in its own sin

its all about perception

the grey suits may not see

the end game, nor the rules  at all

its all about money

 

The wolves are apex predators

and so a good result

whilst their killing wolves

there’s subsidies of sort

all paid out to the cattle men

and the supermarkets get

cheaper and cheaper prices

which of course does let

 

them grow even stronger

on the back of public cash

you scratch my back

and I’ll scratch yours

and that now is a fact

 

who cares about a few wild lives

the public do not care

there will be some activists

but really they are rare

and we can get the coppers

to come down hard and make

their lives a blooming pain

for really what’s at stake

 

is the future of the meat trade

a few wolves down the drain

and a few of those badgers

and see what we can gain
