"Can't Stand To See The Slaughter" lyrics

I can't stand to see the slaughter
But still I eat the meat
I can't stand dishonest people
But still sometimes I cheat
I can't stand that air pollution
But still I drive a car, y'all
Maybe them's the reasons why
Things is like they are

It's a paradox
It's Pandora's box
Is it ecology
Or the economy? (Oh)

I can't stand to see the slaughter
But still I eat the meat
I can't stand dishonest people
But still sometimes I cheat
I can't stand that air pollution
But still I drive a car, y'all
Maybe them's the reasons why
Things is like they are

It's a true-life drama
It's a heavy trauma
Is it a matter of need
Or just a matter of greed? (Hey)

Hey

I can't stand to see the slaughter
But still I eat the meat
I can't stand dishonest people
But still sometimes I cheat
I can't stand that air pollution
But still I drive a car, y'all
Maybe them's the reasons why
Things is like they are

Scientific research
With a little bit of help from the church
Maybe there's a cure
But it's not for sure (Oh)

I can't stand to see the slaughter
But still I eat the meat
I can't stand dishonest people
But still sometimes I cheat
I can't stand that air pollution
But still I drive a car, y'all
Maybe them's the reasons why
Things is like they are

Maybe them's the reasons why
Things is like they are
Maybe them's the reasons why
Things is like they are
Maybe them's the reasons why
Things is like they are
Maybe them's the reasons why
Things is like they are
Things is like they are
Things is like they are
