Cowardly Lion

Cowardly Lion


Heroism is livestock
Rushing to the slaughter
Cattle trampling
Into the butcherhouses
Swine hastening
To the cleaver
That is bravery
True heroism

If you believe the propaganda
If you support the lies

Is a man pushed to the hatchet
Expected to be proud
For joining in the hideous feast
Of the bloody loins of Moscow
The sulfurous hams of Berlin
War, you see
Is a great, beautiful thing
But only if you are the butcher

And I must be a coward
If bravery is cowardice
A cow who dares expose this hell
