lyrics

Sorry to bother you
But my eyes are starting to blur
Is your head hurting too?
Or just me, from stress I'm under

Can I have my paycheque please?
To feed my son, he's only 3
My life feels lost sometimes
Can the sun envelop me?

'Cos I'm a horse
They've made me a beast
(Now I'm nothing but a worker drone)
I'm a horse
My production's increased
(Someone please help me 'cos I want to go home)

I can't afford a meal
But all my worries live rent-free
There's a lot on your plate
When you are a divorcee

Need to eat more oranges
I am weak and have scurvy
Gotta get vitamin C
Make my diet more citrusy

'Cos I'm a horse
Owned by the bourgeoise
(Domesticated for five thousand years)
I'm a horse
I threw my bills in the sea
(No central heating I'm cold feel my ears)

As riders and horse owners, we may have many questions about handling this emotional response from our horses
What causes fear?
How do I know if my horse is afraid before it escalates to dangerous levels?
How can I calm him?
Is there a way to prevent unpredictable behaviours resulting from fear?
If I am a better leader, will my horse recognise there is nothing to be afraid of?

I'm just a horse
With so much more to give
(This says a lot about society)
Yeah I'm a horse
Is there a reason to live?
(But I'm not known for impropriety)
