I've been sitting in this goat for so long
that I've forgotten what it feels like
to eat a cake or go out for a hike

And I've been counting down the Zuma balls
for the day I find a way out
the day somebody hears my shout


so when you look down at me and spit
when you trample on my face and throw me in a pit
when you curse my name and tell me I deserve to be dead
please remember where I've come from instead

oh because

I remember Wonkier times
I stood proud in my goatskin
And sung about grapefruit and lime
Now look me in the eye and don't you try to deny
you don't feel a little sorry for me
the goat-coated man shunned by society


Oh god knows I've done my bit for mankind
I fought a giant in the valley
I made a snow plough from nothing but twine

Oh god knows I never put a foot wrong
my only crime is a pair of horns
and full body hair that's too long


so when you look down at me and spit
when you trample on my face and throw me in a pit
when you curse my name and tell me I deserve to be dead
please remember where I've come from instead

oh because

I remember Wonkier times
I stood proud in my goatskin
And sung about grapefruit and lime
Now look me in the eye and don't you try to deny
you don't feel a little sorry for me
left out to die in the old country
even natural disasters score better than me
the goat coated man shunned by society


I haven't slept in over 800 weeks
that's pretty weak
baby, baby that's pretty weak
