Fancy tying a Condor
to the back of some poor Bull
The Matador he knows the score
the audience are full
of watching a bull tortured
slashed with sword and knife
bleeding out its precious blood
and fighting for its life
against the nastiest of odds
the Matador, he knows
thrust after thrust this bull it must
sink down as its blood flows
that Peru now further complicates
the torture and the pain
by capturing a Condor
wild
they do not train
they tie it to the Bulls back
and put it into fight
the matador knows with a condor on its back
it can’t take flight
its forced to take the punishment
feathers torn out too
this is really awful what Peru
allows them to do
it really should be banned outright
its evil, its not fair
animals and birds are suffering
and Peru seems unaware
