You Can't Fool the Beast

Lyrics

There has always been great speculation as to the nature of the Brown Bull.
 In the manuscripts the Bull is referred to as "an Donn Cuailgne". While
 the word "Donn" means "brown" it is also the name of the ancient Irish God
 of the Dead. There is also a related story which tells how two malevolent
 magicians take the shape of Bulls and resume a longstanding feud.
 You can fool the woman
 - One of these days, you're gonna
 fool the man
 Cos you've got the insight
 You can see a world of things
 They can't understand.
 You can say you're winning
 You can count the score
 And say you know that they've lost.
 But you'll end up admitting that
 The price is more than simply counting
 the cost.
 Ah yes, they're blind already.
 They're blind to love, blind to pain,
 Blind to hope, blind to gain.
 Ah you can fool them alright
 But can you fool the beast?
 You can fool the woman
 Anyone can see you're gonna
 fool the man.
 Cos you've ways of knowing.
 You can tell their pride will
 make them blind in the end.
 And leave them blindly gazing.
