Текст песне : Cribs. Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever. Our Bovine Public.

Did they think I'd have to choose
Did they think I'd wear brown shoes
Did they think that I'd ever have to read about this in the news

You gonna have a go
Well, I don't want to know
I just thought that I should try and say, hello, to those

Who'd never exist without being generic
You have to impress our Bovine public
You'd never exist if you wasn't generic
You have to impress our Bovine public

I'll never forget how all this begun
And I will never regret a thing I have done
But you would never exist without us

So maybe, I do not have the time, fair weather friends of mine
A year's a long time, be doing nothing with your life
I heard you felt alert

Well, I'm hoping that it hurt
'Cos you played too much silent grammar
To be ground into the dirt by those

Who'd never exist without being generic
You'll have to impress our Bovine public
You'd never exist if you wasn't generic
You'll have to impress our Bovine public

I'll never forget how all this begun
And I will never regret a thing I have done
But you would never exist without us
So maybe, I do

Well, you say nothing
So, you'll always mean nothing to me
And if what you say means nothing
Then what you say will always mean nothing to me, ooh

Did they think I have the time, fair weather friends of mine
A year's a long time, be doing nothing with your life
I heard you felt alert

Well, I'm hoping that it hurt
'Cos you played too much silent grammar
To be ground into the dirt by those

Who'd never exist without being generic
You have to impress our Bovine public
You'd never exist if you wasn't generic
You'll have to impress our Bovine public

I'll never forget how all this begun
And I will never regret the one thing I've done
But you would never exist without us
So maybe, I do
