Meat is Murder

Genius Annotation

“ Meat is Murder “,with its simulated bovine cries and buzz-saw guitars took vegetarianism to a new height in popular media . At the time when this song was recorded , animal welfare weren't as mainstream of an issue as they are now. The consumption of meat, especially mass-produced factory-farmed meat, is inherently related to the suffering of animals , and the whole point of this song is to make us think about this unpleasant truth. It's not really the kind of song you just seat back and enjoy.

(Pluck)
*Cow groans and industrial noises*

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
Is MURDER
And the turkey you festively slice
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'S MURDER
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER
Oh ... and who hears when animals cry?

*Cow groans and industrial noises*
