Apology to a Cow

I'm sorry, friend, I have to
 I know, I know it's rude
 I shouldn't work my problems out with food
 I'm sorry, pal, I got to
 It's either me or you
 Fight or be beaten
 Eat or be eaten
 Look what it makes me do
 It's stronger than it was
 And this is what the bat child does
 ♪
 Deep in a cave under miles of stone
 I knew no word for sad
 Singing to echoes and all alone
 Needed no mom or dad
 I never dreamed of the world above
 I'd never seen the sky
 And yet I was content
 I never wondered why
 I never knew such a word as rage
 I learned that from you
 You locked your boy up inside a cage
 And all the while you knew
 Why bother giving me dad's old shirt!
 Why even intervene?
 Why bother washing off all the dirt?
 If I am still unclean
 You said you'd never hurt me, mom
 Whatever might occur
 So, how could you dare, mom?
 Make me aware, mom?
 Teach me to care, mom?
 And then deny me
 Her
 We had a chance at happiness
 Blissfully unaware
 We had a love we thought you'd bless
 We didn't have a prayer
 'Cause you had to come destroy our love
 Like everything else I had
 Yet still I am content and I am not the least bit mad
 No, I'm not here to harm you
 I only want to kill!
 You shall have your monster
 I shall drink my fill
 At last I am embracing
 My bloody destiny
 Dear mom and dad, this face will be
 The last thing that you ever see
 Revenge will be a home for me
 For me
 For me
