lyrics:
—
i got to rip up the road
i got two nights in a row
oh, we gon' put on a show
with a black bull in tow
i'm in that holy ghost zone
i got a trunk full of gold
don't look at me like that
don't look at me like this
ooh
can you remember my name?
i swear you're all just the same
ooh, tu parlais anglais?
can o' Stella, fish fillet?
in a foreshortened future
i saw you drinking kombucha
and it really don't suit ya
and i'm not the waiter
ooh...
we not playing around
i got a black bull in town
i call a wolf, a wolf
this for real, ain't no spoof
i'm breaking bones on the roof
who me? i'm not aloof
forsooth, for shame
i done conquered where i came
and i'm a world away
'cause i'm a man of today
he not playing around
the black bull's in town
the black bull's in town
he not playin' around.

Yannis Philippakis (frontman)'s thoughts

'Black Bull'
"As soon as we wrote the riff, I felt the song should be called 'Black Bull'. There was something heathen and primal about it. As I started thinking about the lyrics, I wanted it to be a capsule full of negative or conflicting male traits. Delusions of grandeur, arrogance, pride, feelings of immortality—all things that have this maniacal energy to it. We were also thinking about how this would be performed live. It felt like a potent song, and tracks like this and the album 'What Went Down' feel to us like vessels to express a type of rage."
