meat is murder

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

Its 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 arent very homely

Its not comforting, cheery or kind

Its sizzling blood and the unholy stench

Of murder

Its 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, its murder

No, no, no, its murder

Oh ... and who hears when animals cry ?
