EXCUSES

Feldi

Compositor: Feldi

People go on and on about cruelty, ethics, all that stuff
Okay, maybe some things aren't perfect
But come on, it's not like everyone who eats meat is just heartless
It's how we've always done it, it's basically tradition
And besides, meat has, like, nutrients and protein and all that, right
It's part of life
You can't just change what people have always done

One, animals eat other animals
Two, we are all part of the food chain
Three, we've always done it, it's natural
Four, look at my canine teeth
Five, I have to eat meat to survive
Six, this is the circle of life
Seven, don't you know plants feel pain
Eight, nine, ten, I don't get it

You motherfuckers come up with excuses
While they pump their bodies up with pharmaceutics
They are farmed in factories, where they abuse 'em
And as long as you pay, they'll continue to do that
So don't get me started with bullshit like the food chain
They only shoot them so you can consume them

Without a doubt, you would die in the wild, have fun with the food chase
Hack 'em up, pack 'em up, so they can't recognize
What kind of animal's inside the packaging
Relevant's only the revenue
We're making millions and millions from billions of bodies
We love the way we've been able to disconnect you from reality and all the cruelty

One, they're only born to be killed
Two, babies get kidnapped for milk
Three, they sell their flesh and skin
Four, they do not get any love
Five, worth more when they're dead
Six, useless when they're sick
Seven, price tag on their chest
Eight, nine
Dig a grave

I wish you had to dig a grave for every victim that was on your plate
And if you can't relate, then activate your brain
Cause every suffering is the fucking same
You're turning bodies to graveyards
You've been conditioned and brainwashed

Grab a bird, snap their necks
Who is next, I don't know, take a guess
What is wrong, no control, they're so precious
So why do we oppress them
Can you not tell that currently good people fund a pretty fucked-up system
Who do you think is to blame?
Every consumer that pays

One, pigs are gassed to death
Two, cows are exploited and raped
Three, they wanna sell their flesh
Four, they only act as a slave
Five, they get decapitated
Six, why don't you look right at it
Seven, you look so irritated
Eight, nine, ten

All of their rights stolen
All that they know are the cold floors and the dark hallways
So people can always buy part of their body while it is still frozen
Put 'em on coals and roast 'em
Raise a toast and tell me again what you're hosting
I got a feeling it's something that's pretty diabolic
Don't you know they have a soul and emotions

At the end of it all, it really comes down to one thing
Which side were you standing on
The good side, where you tried to make a difference
Or the dark side, where you just turned a blind eye
Plain and simple
