slipped up and paid the price

Every Bull should have its day
and this bull before it passed away
realised its time had come
and wanted to prove a point to some
those crowds of frantic screaming sods
who eat and drink and pray to Gods
who pay the price and come and see
Bulls tortured and killed egregiously
the men on horses with their pikes of steel
sticking them into the Bull for real
loss of blood a weakening way
its all about torture and pain
we pay
we pay so badly to entertain
to help the matador to gain
notoriety and fame so he
can warrant and great fat salary

He’s an assassin and murdering breed
he’s never happier just to succeed
making us look like a clumsy cow
and sticking his blade in us and how
he is an evil we do think so
and we need to catch him and in full flow
this bloke got caught with the horn in his throat
and its important all that rex wrote
on his blog under Bulls that have died
many were tortured broke up inside
torn into shreds by the pikes and the knives
and lost to the world at the end of their lives

Bull murder that is all it is
all that you see
is one after the other
killed painfully
nothing about it is joyful, its pain
its torture its torment
what is there to gain?

from subjecting a healthy beast
to all this
its selfish and evil
its something to miss
this matador and a few more
its true
we got our own back
that’s what we did do

and we thrust and we kicked and we
snorted and fell
trying to send this weird
bastard to Hell
the psyche in Spain
is incredibly sick
to go out for the day
and for some reason pick

a venue like this
you have got to be mad
how can they eat ice cream
when its so bad
with us getting stabbed
getting choked getting bashed
we are in agony
each time we’re slashed

this is not entertainment
no it cannot be
its murder and mayhem
and woe that you see
Each one has its day
it may just drop down dead
possibly it tried
but one in the head

kills the poor soul
and he just drops like lead
its curtains of course
but the lights all go out
the pain stops and out pops
and angel no doubt
only the Bull sees her
he knows the score
and if he gets a chance
he wants that matador
to share his death dance

that’s how it is
and that’s how it will be
the Bulls are now up to it
and they can see
the matador’s getting too cocky
for words
so head down and charge
and he’s away with the birds
