Suite Equestria Songtext
von Moondog

Whenever Man began to tame the horse
He had himself a potent power source
For draft and riding, horses were supreme
From two to three and more they made a team
The dog was not his only friend of course
He knew he had another in the horse
But he would come to cast his friend aside
In favour of a motor-driven ride


The Incas had no wheel. The Aztecs had no wheel
The Mayas had no wheel on which to reel
Before the wheelers came to wage the war they won
The Aborigines had need of none
The Natives knew the year the Norsemen would appear
To rediscover half a hemisphere
The horse had always been, the horse would always be
The safer source of Man′s mobility
The horseless carriage came to take him for a spin
On carriage ways and means to do him in

On fossil fuel the engine up and ran
Ostensibly the bosom friend of Man
In serving Man the motor came to be
The Master, even Man began to see
If pride preceds a fall it's time he fell
For horses who have ever served him well
A toiler and a spoiler all in one
The engine had its day, whose day is done
