Knowing the public are often fooled
and many of them just don’t care
and feel seldom galled
leather or fur or even foie gras
out of the scope of the many who are
the designer clothes so often new
as far as the buyers they don’t care
They know the cruelty thats out there
and invoice the fur of course as faux
and the down from chickens
They just don’t want to know
they forget, and by then they say
The Margins are better anyway
we have to fixate for the animals they
have probably all died anyway.
