Feed Me

Give me a tail, give me a nose
I want the heart, feed me the toes
Give me some eyes, give me the brain
Let’s have some spine, it’s all the same
Give me a dog, give me a cat
Sausage from horses something like that
Give me a dolphin, give me some whale
I’ll take some gums, a puppy dogs tail
Give me some rump, give me some skin
I’m always hungry, I’ll fit it in

Cooked in the oven, fried on the stove
Sauteed in butter, served with cloves
Roast it hot, consume it cold
Dried in the air, many days old
Bake in a crust, barbeque on fire
Boil in oil in a deep fat fryer
Eat it cooked, eat it raw
God given dominion, that’s what they’re for
Why does it matter if it’s a lion or sheep
Served on a plate, it’s all meat

Feed me, breed me, cage me bleed me
Cut me, stack me, label & rack me

Calf or lamb, cub or kitten
Dolphin, cod, it’s all nutrition
Fish is fish, meat is meat,
It’s all lives we kill and eat
Don’t think about the fear, don’t think about the blood
The death, the suffering is understood
Cut it clean, package it nice
Stack it in the fridge, freeze it in ice
Wash away the blood, change its name
Don’t look them in the eye, don’t see the pain
Wash away the blood, change its name
Don’t look them in the eye, don’t see the pain

Feed me, breed me, cage me bleed me
Cut me, stack me, label & rack me

Call it, beef, call it veal
Something bloody for every meal
Braising steak with a choice of veg
Drown it in gravy eat it dead
Cutlets, wings, turkey breast
Chicken drumsticks or should I say legs
Fry them in batter until golden brown
Drink with wine to wash it down

Feed me, breed me, cage me, bleed me
Cut me, stack me, label & rack me

A nation of animal lovers, don’t make me laugh
We’re all swimming in this bloodbath
Where cows in a field are all fair game
Lambs and chickens, they’re just the same
Could you look them in the eye, as you still their gaze
With your sharpened knives, ending their short days
Could you drag them from their homes, catch them in your nets
Ignoring their screams with no regrets
Shooting them with guns, ending their lives
Your decision, you decide

DEAD MEAT
