We've been going round and round 
you've played to the roaring crowd 
you're snipping at my heels 
buzzing in my ear 
roll your tongue out longer 
then I'll bite it off of you 

bled for your pompous gestures 
and your trivial crusades 
but you keep tugging on my chain 
rattling my cage 
all the while your 
devoted faithful look on 

bull takes fighter 
I say it's now or never 

this thought might bring you comfort 
we're restoring balance to the universe 
the cost of your overwhelming sense of liberty 
is always paid in someone else's blood 

how long have I cowered underneath 
your swords, your spears, your biting teeth? 
it's always the same 
and you love it that way 
I think if I should fall here 
I'll make sure you cushion the blow 

bull takes fighter 
I say it's now or never 

this thought might bring you comfort 
we're restoring balance to the universe 
the cost of your overwhelming sense of liberty 
is always paid in someone else's blood 

this thought might bring you comfort 
we're restoring balance to the universe 
the cost of your overwhelming sense of liberty 
is always paid in someone else's blood 

always, always 
always paid 
always paid 
always paid 
always paid in someone else's blood
