Jonathan White - Holy Cow Lyrics

All that you know we teach you
All of the things in your head
So many ways to reach you
So many things to be said

All of your life feeling empty
All of your life in a daze
Caught in a permanent daydream
Lost in an infinite maze

Now we have you where we want you
Stripped of the flesh and the bone
Right down to the marrow we have you
Turning your heart into stone

Cat-o-nine tails
The whip and the birch
Keep 'em all in line
As they're fleeing the church
Sisters of Mercy
Mopping your brow
Get on your knees and pray
To the Holy Cow
Run from the mission
The fires are burning
Pendulum swings
And the rack is turning
Sisters of Mercy
Raise your hands up now then
Everybody bow down to the Holy Cow

Come on and read all about it
Let us show you how to be
Take heed all you fathers and mothers
And sisters and brothers
We'll make you see

Listen to me I will tell you
Your future is part of the plan
Right from the start to the ending
All told by a newspaper man

Burning witches at the side of the road
Plague of locust
The frog and the toad
No resurrection
So fatten the sow
And then you'd better kowtow to the Holy Cow

Cat-o-nine tails
The whip and the birch
Keep 'em all in line
As they're fleeing the church
Sisters of Mercy
Mopping your brow
Get on your knees and pray
To the Holy Cow
Run from the mission
The fires are burning
Pendulum swings
And the rack is turning
Sisters of Mercy
Raise your hands up now
Then everybody bow down to the Holy Cow
