|Heifer whines could be human cries | | | ||
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 nice | |||
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 | As you savour the flavour | ||
of MURDER | |||
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER | NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER | ||
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER | NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER | ||
who hears when animals cry? | |||
