Our Bovine Public Lyrics - Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever - Cribs

Didn't think I'd have to choose 

Didn't think I'd wear brown shoes 

Didn't 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 

You're doing nothing with your life 

I heard you felt alert 

Well I'm hoping that it hurt 

'Cause we've spent too much time in groundwork 

To be ground in to 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 

Photos 

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 

D'you think I have the time fair-weather friends of mine 

A year's a long time to be doing nothing with your life 

I heard you felt alert 

Well I'm hoping that it hurt 

'Cause we've spent too much time in groundwork 

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
