{{lyrics | |||
|Heifer whines could be human cries | |||
Closer comes the screaming knife | |||
This beautiful creature must die | |||
This beautiful creature must die | |||
A death for no reason | |||
And death for no reason is MURDER | |||
And the flesh you so fancifully fry | |||
Is not succulent, tasty or kind | |||
It's death for no reason | |||
And death for no reason is MURDER | |||
And the calf that you carve with a smile | |||
Is MURDER | |||
And the turkey you festively slice | |||
Is MURDER | |||
Do you know how animals die? | |||
Kitchen aromas aren't very homely | |||
It's not "comforting", cheery or kind | |||
It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench | |||
Of MURDER | |||
It's not "natural", "normal" or kind | |||
The flesh you so fancifully fry | |||
The meat in your mouth | |||
As you savour the flavour | |||
Of MURDER | |||
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER | |||
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER | |||
Oh...and who hears when animals cry? | |||
