At the end of the day
\nAll the animals pay
\nFor the margin and the
\nFinal cost
\nWe all have been brainwashed
\nto think of ourselves
\nWe are drawn to the food
\nOff the cheapest of shelves<\/p>\n
Fair trade and organic and slow food
\nAs such
\nDoes not get the sales like
\nThe cheap end, it’s much
\nTo difficult These days
\nFor farmers alone
\nTo continue to trade
\nWith the principles known<\/p>\n
The corporates screw them
\nInto the ground and most of us know this
\nBut don’t make a sound
\nAnd so they resort to the horrendous stuff
\nThe adding of crap
\nHave we not heard enough<\/p>\n
This arse of a farmer goes much lower still
\nFeeding shit to his pigs
\nThe worse kind of swill
\nTo fatten them up on their journey
\nTo town
\nPumping their shit
\nThrough pipes going down<\/p>\n
Their throats all the way
\nImagine that scene
\nOf frustration and evil
\nIt all going down
\nThe tubes as we say
\nAt the end of the day
\nAnd of course it’s the animals
\nthat have to pay<\/p>\n
The culprits are us
\nWe who eat cheap cuts, we
\nThe super stores grow
\nAs the animals plea
\nThey have cried out for years
\nBut we just closed our ears
\nAnd ate more and more
\nOr so it appears<\/p>\n
Now they are monsters
\nStores everywhere
\nWho have eaten the ethical shops
\nTo despair
\nWho have swallowed up family farms
\nWho were all keen
\nAnd left us with corporates
\nAnd the machine<\/p>\n
Profit and margins are what it’s about
\nAnd the animals, fuck them!
\nThere there’s no doubt
\nThey have thought up all manner
\nOf systems to blind
\nConsumers with digital systems
\nOur mind <\/p>\n
is lost on the prices
\nThe offers and more
\nWe don’t care about farmers
\nNobody’s sure
\nAs they grovel in shit
\nAnd they probably eat
\nAll the shit too
\nUnlike the elite<\/p>\n
The power corporations
\nThey knuckle down
\nFeeding shit from the skies
\nAll over town
\nOur children eat slime most of the time
\nIt’s out there the nuggets the crap
\nAnd the grime<\/p>\n
Dressed up in boxes
\nSold on the TV
\nIn children’s comic books
\nThat’s where it be
\nAnd this sees the cruelty the vileness
\nJust grow
\nOne picture on Facebook
\nAnd the shit does flow<\/p>\n
Out of our thoughts about this Chinese bloke
\nWho committed a sin
\nIt’s a sin that will soak
\nInto our bodies and the bodies of those
\nPigs off to market
\nYes I suppose <\/p>\n
it does on the face of it
\nSicken us so
\nBut the programme is crushing the farmers
\nYou know
\nTo the ends of the earth to the bowels
\nJust to try
\nAnd make their ends meet
\nBut The systems awry<\/p>\n
At the end of the day
\nThe animals pay with their lives
\nWith their day to day torture
\nAnd we
\nSome of us don’t have an idea about it
\nSome of us buy into it and we be<\/p>\n
Part of the reason
\nBrainwashed we are
\nTo the corporate systems
\nThat damage and scar
\nAll of you carnivores
\nMust look Within
\nWhen pointing our fingers and scratching
\nOur skin<\/p>\n
When yes being racist
\nWhen yes being cruel
\nTo the foreigners out there
\nThe vilest of fool
\nWho is trying to feed his kids
\nAnd pay his rent
\nBut is under the remit
\nAs the corporates vent<\/p>\n
Their anger their power
\nOver him and so he
\nGoes for broke
\nFor their cloak
\nSuffocates him and we
\nHave to change our tune
\nBe caring and kind
\nPay the right price
\nThe one underlined<\/p>\n
What this farmer did
\nWas a terrible thing
\nVile and of course
\nSo distressing
\nWe are right to respond
\nAs we have but to feel
\nThe corporate systems
\nWhat does it reveal<\/p>\n
We are all part of it
\nThose of us who
\nGo to the market
\nAnd want cheap food too
\nWho can work to achieve
\nThe margin some make
\nOnly those doing it
\nfor their own sake<\/p>\n
You may feel my response
\nDoes not address
\nThe issue we see here
\nFor you feel the stress
\nAs I I do as I I did 47 years ago
\nWhen I became vegan
\nAnd not part of this show<\/p>\n
Feeding crap to his pigs
\nShows me a desperate man
\nWhose life has already
\nGone down the pan
\nInside his sick mind
\nHe has done what he could
\nFrom the markets pressure
\nWhich is also not good<\/p>\n
For it’s turning good men
\nInto devils en masse
\nFrom piglet to death
\nAll I say is Alas
\nIt’s been one awful hell hole
\nWhich we failed to see
\nAt the end of the day
\nIt’s how it had to be<\/p>\n
So think think aloud
\nMake the people all see
\nWhen ordering spare ribs
\nOr pork roast just be
\nAware
\nPlease I beg you At the end of the day
\nThe animals tragically
\nAre the ones, that do pay<\/p>\n
Tonight in the Chinese
\nSweet and sour pork
\nDressed up with spring onions
\nIf they could just talk
\nThey would tell you the hell
\nThey faced every day
\nAnd it Proves beyond anything else
\nWhat I say<\/p>\n
Go vegan for fucks sake
\nGo vegan today
\nAnd don’t go for cheap meat
\nIt’s never the way
\nThe animals suffer
\nThere appears now no doubt
\nAnd That’s what this story
\nIs essentially about<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
