Apology To A Cow Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe

Bat Boy (Original Cast Recording)

2001

[BAT BOY]
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've 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 the cave under miles of stone, I knew no word for sad
Singing to echoes and all alone, needed no mom or dad
I'd 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!
