The World's Biggest Runt

歌詞

An animal has a heart, and flesh that's precious (But obviously more to "man" than animal) An animal is a live. It has a body, a mind And is it forever and ever to be abused by "man" kind At peace in its field but when human comes near It cowers and trembles with fear It can sense that at some point in its life "Man" will lead it to fate with the blade of "his" knife "Eat your pet puppy? What a cruel thing to say." But lead a lamb to its slaughter and of course that's okay The blood soaked death house to the well gr(k)illed meat What right do you offer for the life that you steal? Meat at the restaurant...medium or rare? How did it get there? Too few really care Animal for breakfast. Animal for tea. Animal for supper. "Well who cares?" (We) Picture the family. Knives in their hands All waiting for Mummy to produce the dead lamb Expectant and hungry to chew on it's flesh Little Sue doesn't like meat. But 'Mummy knows best' She'll tell Sue of protein because that's all that she sees Mummy's unaware of blood and heart disease There's millions starving because there's meat on the table but try and tell Mummy and she'll dismiss it as fable Animals in cosmetics. Animals to eat Animals fill stomachs. But a life is not meat Animals imprisoned and engaged for our pleasure Used and abused as mere toys for our leisure Destroyed and tortured in "mans" laboratory Humiliated and stripped or all dignity Dissected and burned and poisoned to death And what is the reason? So one may add to ones "wealth" Animals for clothing animals for meals But what right do you offer for the lives that you steal? Animals to shoot at animals to hunt Definition of human....................... We completely denounce the barbaric belief that to slaughter so called lesser species for profit should be viable and morally acceptable to take the life of any living creature we see as being totally unacceptable. Deeming ourselves as the most intelligent species we appear to have reached the conclusion that all other species are expendable. The archaic way of thinking has led to both the extinction and near extinction of hundreds of species of animal during our short time on earth. What we are faced with is a complete reassessment of our whole moral standards. Not only do we use animals to achieve our own ends. We also seem to believe that it is our natural right to do so
