"Meat Is Murder" lyrics

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

It's death for no reason
And death for no reason is murder

And the calf that you carve with a smile
It is murder

And the turkey you festively slice
It is murder

Do you know how animals die?

Kitchen aromas aren't very homely
It's not comforting, cheery or kind
It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench of murder

It's 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, it is murder
No, no, no, it is murder

Oh... and who hears when animals cry?
