A living breathing soul becomes a commodity
\nA bar code on a label in its ear
\nStamped on with a sort of punch
\nAn item code and a digital crunch
\nA universal product code
\nWatch out it gives the load
\nA living breathing soulful cow
\nIs of course degraded by the hour
\nThis is how we classify
\nEvery true commodity<\/p>\n
Sales in sales out stock control
\nOperational for every soul
\nThis is how we demonstrate
\nAnd digitalize and stow of late
\nThis is what we are doing to the living
\nSouls today
\nBar codes and computer readers
\nSet it out and record the way
\nEverything is noted down
\nAnd listed on the screen
\nThis is what we are doing now
\nAnd it really is obscene.<\/p>\n
Its all about improbity
\nStock records and the place to be
\nTracking tracing where its been
\nWhat its fed on red or green
\nWhat its drug count has become
\nWhether 100 per cent GM ,or some
\nWhich farm it came from originally
\nAnd its antibiotic history<\/p>\n
A cow is born and what we do
\nIs create a commodity all life through
\nAll the data will appear
\nOn the ticket in its ear
\nRespective buyers they can see
\nTheir statistical codes
\nFed digitally<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
