A song I co-wrote. The idea was to try to depict the point of view of a cow, with no escape, and bound for slaughter.

The pictures might not exactly portray actual beef-cattle-life in the US. Most cows for food-consumption are raised on large overcrowded feed lots. But I thought the cute pastoral cows were more appealing to the eye.

Lyrics:
His ©eyes were (E)filled with (Am)fear
He (F)knew he (G)could not es©cape
Sur©rounded (G)by his (Am)peers
(F)They all (G)knew their ©fate

His ©mind was (E)full of (Am)anger
The (F)day he was (G)taken from his ©mother
©Never (G)saw her a(Am)gain
(F)She had no (G)voice to de©fend

CHORUS
(No Chord)He said
©Why (G)are they so (Am)blind
(F)Cant they (G)see, I ©also (G)have a (Am)mind
My (F)blood is (G)red just like ©theirs

©He knew there (E)was a(Am)nother way
But (F)now it was (G)his day for ©slay
©Down (G)on all (Am)fours
(F)Paralyzed by the (G)now crimson ©floor

His ©heart (E)stopped (Am)beating
(F)He was (G)one of many ©bleeding
©Could not (G)compre(Am)hend
He said
(F)No this (G)cant be the ©end

©Why (G)are they so (Am)blind
(F)Cant they (G)see I ©also (G)have a (Am)mind
My (F)blood is (G)red just like ©yours.
