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