Even cowboys get the blues

I'm a Hindoo
Taught to believe
That the cow is sacred too

But this
This is pure parody
Killing people for a dead cow
Holding on to the past
Running away from the now
Forcing people en masse
Depriving some of their staple chow

Denizens of India
There's much to worry
Last I checked
Hinduism was a robust philosophy
And India, a secular country

I'm Hindoo
I come from a land
Where a cow is like Lord Vishnoo

But this
This is just crazy
Milking beliefs for votes
People being herded like goats
Humans scavenging like crows
And a starving populace
That repeatedly comes to blows

Denizens of India
There's much to worry
Last I checked
Hinduism was a robust philosophy
And India, a secular country

I'm Hindoo
Our bottom-line is tolerate
But this...this trend of late
Formulated by a bunch of ingrates
Confusing militancy for strength
Spouting an ideology of pure nonsense
Turning everything into a sacred cow
A great religion gone shamefully low-brow

Denizens of India
There's much to worry
Last I checked
Hinduism was a robust philosophy
And India, a secular country

I’m Hindoo
I don’t preach hate
I condemn this
I denounce blind faith
I too think the cow is holy
But equating her to my mother
Now, that’s pure baloney
A dead cow is a dead cow is a dead cow
What the fuck next are you going to disallow?

Denizens of India
There's much to worry
Last I checked
Hinduism was a robust philosophy
And India, not an anti-secular country
