I'll never forget how all this begun
But you would never exist without us
I heard you felt alert
I just thought that I should try and say, hello, to those
You'd never exist if you wasn't generic
Did they think that I'd ever have to read about this in the news
I'll never forget how all this begun

So, you'll always mean nothing to me
Who'd never exist without being generic

You'll have to impress our Bovine public

Then what you say will always mean nothing to me, ooh

You'd never exist if you wasn't generic
But you would never exist without us
Who'd never exist without being generic
And I will never regret a thing I have done
So maybe, I do
You'll have to impress our Bovine public
And I will never regret a thing I have done
A year's a long time, be doing nothing with your life
You have to impress our Bovine public

Well, I'm hoping that it hurt
I'll never forget how all this begun
So maybe, I do

Did they think I have the time, fair weather friends of mine
You have to impress our Bovine public
To be ground into the dirt by those
Well, you say nothing
I heard you felt alert
'Cos you played too much silent grammar
You gonna have a go
You'll have to impress our Bovine public
A year's a long time, be doing nothing with your life

Well, I'm hoping that it hurt
But you would never exist without us

And I will never regret the one thing I've done
Well, I don't want to know
To be ground into the dirt by those
So maybe, I do not have the time, fair weather friends of mine
Who'd never exist without being generic
You'd never exist if you wasn't generic

'Cos you played too much silent grammar
You have to impress our Bovine public
And if what you say means nothing
