All our needs put together Don't bleed on their own You paid for an eyeful So behold the bull Why can't I look up, (out in the clearing) Tell me what's there below, (end over end) While he's safe for the moment, (guess what he's learning) He's never safe from the crowd, come one So hats off to the bull No giving up (Either way, it makes ya mad) (Well some of us) Hats off to the bull, keep giving all (What ya say we make amends) To be monumental Could mean the beyond The simpler the treasure Means the higher the cost Well as for the ending, damn right I'm learning You might ask for the door, end over end Well I hate how the clouds hide The gasps from above So hats off to the bull No giving up (Either way, it makes ya mad) (Well some of us) Hats off to the bull, keep giving all (What ya say we make amends) Find your challenge, suffer miles Colors gray, he brings them out Don't mind the challenge, suffer miles A little shallow, if I don't say Hats off to the bull His time ain't up (Bitter hell in the lion's den) For some of us Hats off to the bull The sun won't set (Till the pain and the final breath) So hats off to the bull No giving up (Either way, it makes ya mad) (Well some of us) Hats off to the bull, keep giving all (What ya say we make amends) Hats off to the bull No giving up Hats off to the bull Keep giving up Hats off to the bull No giving up Hats off to the bull
