#goldencow
they say bow down, peons
bow down to the golden cow
to the holy, the sacred one
unending loyalty avow
raised high on four shoulders
in processions for all to see
celebrate and cheer as it passes
with streamers thrown in a spree
send up fireworks in its honor
its resplendent glory extol
croon hosannas and hallelujahs
hand over your very soul
it's the be all and the end all
that's what they'd have you believe
that it deserves all attention and laurels
of course they'd never deceive
make no misstep, follow along
like lemmings to the sea
don't think for yourselves
now and then bending a knee
if someone says "I love that cow"
say it louder and repeat
that golden idol so worshipped
give the most exalted seat
place it on a pedestal
encrusted with precious jewels
that's what they believe it's worth
those fawning, sycophant fools
