Flesh And Blood

If animals are animals

And animals have brains

We are no more than cannibals

Who refuse to feel the pain

The meat you eat is wrapped up neat

You didn't see it bleed...

And what you kill does not fulfil

Your dietary needs

Take a look from this direction

And save yourself the indigestion

Our guts are geared to vegetation

And it's healthier as well

Open your eyes and face the facts

Meat cost a lot, it gives you heart attacks

A now lot of people think (wrongly) vegetation lacks

In vitamin B12... vitamin B12...

If you really think that's gonna make you ill

Then buy a bottle of vitamin pills!

You could be more healthy

Maybe it doesn't really bother you

But can your conscience bear the strain

Of all the pain that makes your food?

You could feed a lot of needy people

With the grain they feed to cows

But can you comprehend these end results

Or can you not allow

Yourself to break the old tradition?

False conception of nutrition

Well they all eat meat on the television

Except those little starving children

Would you ever eat the meat

From another human being?

Flesh and blood

Is animal

Is you and me

Animal is suffering
