(interpolates music from "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan)
[Verse 1] Animal genocide What we do to them we do to us Because we’re also animals, in the eyes We kill them and eat them, we kill ourselves We take the fluid and eat it We steal the milk, we take the food from our babies too Which equals starving them thin, and then to death And it isn’t hard to understand We take the eggs, we rape ourselves As there’s war on them, there’s war on men And then there’s war women You don’t want this You want bliss, and you want stillness But it’s still just.. this Until the world is “vegan,” the war will persist If you go and eat animal foods, well then it’s simple, war will happen to you
[Verse 2] We shoot them with guns no different from ours that we pick us off with battles we pick up arms We cut their throats We cut us short Then we drain their blood We’re drained of love We hold them back The same for us This heinous stuff is happening so when it stops it can’t begin again So it can’t re-begin So why don’t we begin to win? To clean beneath the skin, clean ourselves of sin? You don’t have to wait for your friends Because your animal friends are right now suffering in the wings
[Verse 3] In between breakfast and lunch And in between lunch and supper Your insides are crumbling And you're suffering Hear their cries They’re terrified The corpses are seen between the produce section and the dairy aisle Dismember them, dismember you/me Just like an amputee Or the cadaver they’re scalpeling All is not quiet when you pick up guns So give it up It’s all about what you started out doing to them Because what goes around comes back around again
