[Verse 1]
Killing the sacred cow
To feast on the beast
Could get karmic, somehow
At the very least
[Chorus]
Holy cow
(You sacred bovine, you)
Watch… just “wow”
(The bull you chew and spew)
[Bridge]
Go-hatya! Go-hatya!
(Go, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Spiritual downfall
For us all
Should have killed
The golden calf
Now self-willed
Life cut in half
[Chorus]
Holy cow
(You sacred bovine, you)
Watch… just “wow”
(The bull you chew and spew)
[Bridge]
Go-hatya! Go-hatya!
(Go, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Holy cow
(You sacred bovine, you)
Watch… just “wow”
(The bull you chew and spew)
[Outro]
Go-hatya! Go-hatya!
(Go, yeah, yeah, yeah)
ABOUT THE SONG
Religious Consequences in Hinduism
-
In ancient Hindu scriptures like the Manusmriti and Dharmashastras, killing a cow is considered a serious sin (often called go-hatya).
-
Atonement could include ritual penance, such as fasting, pilgrimage, or other forms of expiation (prāyaścitta).
-
In some interpretations, the sin of cow-killing is said to lead to spiritual downfall, karmic consequences, or being reborn in a lower form of life.
