[**Intro**: Steel Guitar] [**Verse 1**] The Cattle all came home We were dusty from the trail After supper cranked the speakers Let the punk rock wail Deep in the Jack and the Captain and some old Social D tunes We started up the pit But the cows started too [**Bridge**] We stopped, amazed It was the darndest thing Watching two hundred horn-ed heads raging against the machine! [**Chorus**] In the dark of night and beyond belief A frenetic ring of moshing beef No ranch hand'r cowpoke Gonna make them quit so just stand clear of the corral mosh pit [**Verse 2**] Our eyes grew so darn wide at the epic event taking place 'Cept earl who jumped in Got trampled, smile on his face Like black and white zombies Flying white and black flags A bunch of angry steers having the best time they ever had [**bridge**] I don' t know what got 'em But they knew just what to do Stompin' in a circle Cryin', "Moo, moo, moo!" [**Chorus**] In the dark of night and beyond belief A frenetic ring of moshing beef No ranch hand'r cowpoke Gonna make them quit so just stand clear of the corral mosh pit [**Solo**: Punk rock guitar] [**Solo**: Punk rock guitar] [**Verse 3**] Whoopin' and hollerin' We clapped and cheered Dizzy from the whiskey and the slam dancing steers I figure they wanted a bit of control Before they got herded on to fate A little violent catharsis while staring down the big blue plate [**Bridge**] Get along little doggies We yelled at dawn A let them be minor threats for one more song [**Chorus**] In the dark of night and beyond belief A frenetic ring of moshing beef No ranch hand'r cowpoke Gonna make them quit so just stand clear of the corral mosh pit [**Final Chorus**] In the dark of night and beyond belief A frenetic ring of moshing beef No ranch hand'r cowpoke Gonna make them quit so just stand clear of the corral mosh pit [**time change**: slower tempo, acoustic guitar, more meloncholy] [**outro**] They were destined for the slaughter How they knew, I don't know But I saw it in their eyes As we got back on the road Just to be meat for men with the dollars to pay Wonder what it's like, to live... life... that... way?
