"Cash Cow (A Rock Opera In Three Small Acts)" Lyrics [edit]
by Steve Taylor | from the album Squint
 

Move...
Move in closer...
Move in closer to the...
Move in closer to the middle of the frame.

It was a morning just like any other morning in the Sinai Desert,1200 BC,
It glistened, it glowed, it rose from the gold of the children of Israel, (and most of the adults) - the Cash Cow.

The golden Cash Cow had a body like the great cows of ancient Egypt, and a face like the face of Robert Tilton, (without the horns)
And through the centuries it has roamed the Earth like a ravenous bovine, seeking whom it may lick,
Cash Cow, Cash Cow.

From the Valley of the Shadow of the Outlet Mall to the customised pet-wear boutique,
From the trailer of the fry chef to the palace of the sheik, the Cash Cow lurks,
The Cash Cow lurks,
The Cash Cow lurks.

Who loves you, baby? Who'll give you good credit?
Who says you'll regret it?
Who loves you, baby? Who'll give you good credit?
Who says you'll regret it?

"I was young and I needed the money,"
"I had money, and I needed more money,"
"I was filthy rich, all I wanted was love...and a little more money."

Woe to you, proud mortal, secure in your modest digs,
You think you're immune?
You, who couldn't finger said cow in a police line-up with the three little pigs?
Cash Cow, master of disguises,
Who's gonna change shape at will?
Who's the eye in the pyramid on the back of the dollar bill?
Who loves power lunching from Spago to the Sizzler?
Guess who's coming to dinner.

Who loves you, baby? Who'll give you good credit?
Who says you'll regret it?
Who loves you, baby? Who'll give you good credit?
Who says you'll regret it?
Who loves you, baby? Who'll give you good credit?
Who says you'll regret it?
One yank on that udder will land your butt in their sling,
First one's free. (cow junkies take heed)

Cash Cow, coming to get ya - why?
Because you think this is stupid, don't you?
The Cash Cow will not be mocked,
The Cash Cow's planning a coup,
The Cash Cow chews cud bigger than you.

Woe, woe, woe to you who blow off this warning...perhaps you've already been licked,
I too was hypnotised by those big cow eyes the last time I uttered those three little words: "I deserve better!"
