Clearly they have been knocked about
\nScuffed legs bruised and cut
\nUnfed and lacking water
\nIts open and shut
\nClearly they were all aware
\nDeath was coming to
\nA truck load of victims
\nKnowing where they are going to<\/p>\n
Flies crawling on their backs
\nIt is what flies do
\nIt is hot in Australia
\nAnd clearly the whole crew
\nHave been tipped around a bit
\nAnd now they have arrived
\n“Get over it”
\nSomeone shouts
\n“We eat meat to survive
\n“Get used to it”
\nYou sentimental fools
\nThey liked their ride
\nI mean they are just living meat
\nLying in their stalls
\nMuddlied clearly
\nBuddies here there are no rules
\nShrieking they are noisy
\nThe slaughterhouse is where
\nThey are going to get the chop
\nAnd wish they were not there<\/p>\n
Looking through the slats
\nThey are a pitiful sight
\nTheir little eyes incredibly wise
\nBut clearly now the light
\nIs fading from their being
\nEach know that each must die
\nTo fill the guts of human beings
\nWho ask us now why<\/p>\n
We demonstrate our reluctance
\nTo ever eat their meat
\nThe girls are taking pictures
\nTheir power is to unseat
\nOur emotions in so many ways
\nTo imagine what they go through
\nIn all sorts of terror
\nThen that is what we do<\/p>\n
There are no fairy godmothers
\nAbout to save the day
\nALF is present to record this and to say
\nHow one group of people can be here to try
\nTo save a group of animals
\nAnd the rest want them to die
\nIts remorseless just how many trucks
\nAre coming all of these
\nAnimals will die today
\nAnd this is just to please
\nThe restaurants and the TV chefs
\nAnd the supermarkets where
\nMost now buy these cuts of meat
\nTotally unaware<\/p>\n
However wrong we think it is
\nTheir immortality
\nIs impossible in this day and age
\nThe culpability is evident
\nIts everywhere
\n“BAcon” you hear them cry
\nAll that salt and all that fat
\nIn the twinkling of an eye<\/p>\n
Nitrites in the process
\nCarcinogenic stuff
\nBut most people who eat
\nThey can not get enough
\nWe are in the minority
\nAnd the disparagement we get
\nThey just all lack conscience
\nAs they raise their karmic debt<\/p>\n
