Some cowbrutes value freedom
as their first and greatest need,
and some will trade their freedom
for a bite or two of feed.
There's critters in the brushland
runnin' free and rangin' out,
and there's those that kinda hang around
right near the feed truck route.
Some take lots of ridin'
just to get 'em near a pen.
Then, there's those that hear the siren,
and they bawl and come on in.
There's some that won't be captured
'less you catch 'em with a rope.
But, some will trail your pickup
at a walk or at a lope.
Some cows are bad to fight you
when you try to block their way,
and others don't care what you do
if you just bring out their hay.
Individuals vary greatly
in what they do with freedom.
Some get out and hustle.
Some just wait for you to feed 'em.
And when I think about our freedom
and the choices it allows,
it appears to me that people
tend to act a lot like cows.
