crass ignorance to boot<br \/>\nA total unenlightenment<br \/>\nHalf knowledge at their root<br \/>\nIll-informed and all untutored<br \/>\nIn the ways of dairy life<br \/>\nMost of them lowbrow phillistines<br \/>\nCreating so much strife<\/p>\n<p>A terrible lack of intelligence<br \/>\nRetarded we might say<br \/>\nLeading to an oafishness<br \/>\nOn any given day<br \/>\nPsychopathic tendencies for cruelty<br \/>\nAnd stress<br \/>\nUnhinged themselves and out of control<br \/>\nReally in a mess<\/p>\n<p>Resigned to creating mayhem<br \/>\nAnd cruelty and pain<br \/>\nTo the animals that unfortunately<br \/>\nHave to bear the strain<br \/>\nMilking females being tortured<br \/>\nIn every sort of way<br \/>\nFrom kept in cramped conditions<br \/>\nAnd beaten Everyday<\/p>\n<p>All of them are mothers<br \/>\nExpecting some respect<br \/>\nBut getting well the opposite<br \/>\nThat all will soon detect<br \/>\nPoor drainage, so the animals<br \/>\nAre standing in their shit<br \/>\nStanding in their urine<br \/>\nMilkers its not fit<\/p>\n<p>To be so close to milk<br \/>\nAnd have faeces floating by<br \/>\nThis is most unsanitary<br \/>\nAnd really does belie<br \/>\nAny form of management<br \/>\nOr meaningful discourse<br \/>\nIt is incomprehensible<br \/>\nTo actually use force<\/p>\n<p>On females giving up their milk<br \/>\nTo beat them with knotted towels<br \/>\nAnd electric prods who are these sods<br \/>\nAllowing all these fouls<br \/>\nExposed electrical cables<br \/>\nWhere water and feces lie<br \/>\nAround the milking area<br \/>\nThe question asked is why<\/p>\n<p>How can any farmer operate<br \/>\nIn this way<br \/>\nFor workers and for animals<br \/>\nIt really doesn&#8217;t play<br \/>\nInto any common sense<br \/>\nReally now To me<br \/>\nIt is incomprehensible<br \/>\nAnd i am baffled actually<\/p>\n<p>Beating happens all the time<br \/>\nTo hurry the cows along<br \/>\nSupervisors instructing workers<br \/>\nThat it does belong<br \/>\nIn daytime activity<br \/>\nReally give them hell<br \/>\nAs for downers the term<br \/>\nFor the sick and exhausted souls<br \/>\nThey are prodded and sworn at<br \/>\nFor them just no controls<\/p>\n<p>Kicked and left for weeks on end<br \/>\nTo suffer and to cry<br \/>\nNo vets around to help them<br \/>\nAnd some eventually die<\/p>\n<p>Manhandled to the rape rack<br \/>\nAnd raped by untrained staff<br \/>\nA whole arm into their anus<br \/>\nOne after another and laugh<br \/>\nTheir heads off as they transfer<br \/>\nBodily fluids all around<br \/>\nHow can that be sanitary<br \/>\nAnd the pain just does astound<\/p>\n<p>Any caring soulful  member of the human race<br \/>\nWho witnesses this terror<br \/>\nLook at each poor cows face<br \/>\nThe mendacity and deceitfulness<br \/>\nOf brusque and curt design<br \/>\nThe injuriousness and the grief and woe<br \/>\nOf all those on the line<\/p>\n<p>Babies are taken away at birth<br \/>\nTheir natural instinct lost<br \/>\nWhen they wont take a bottle<br \/>\nTubes down their throats soon cost<br \/>\nBloody ulcerated wounds<br \/>\nImagine how that feels<br \/>\nKidnapped from your mother<br \/>\nWho cannot respond to your squeals<\/p>\n<p>Put in wired enclosures<br \/>\nOut in the hot sun<br \/>\nOr pouring rain no shelter<br \/>\nBut this is what is done<br \/>\nNo duty of caring<br \/>\nThey suffer terribly<br \/>\nThese are little  babies<br \/>\nAnd face the iniquity<\/p>\n<p>Underfinanced undermanned<br \/>\nKnee deep in piss and shit<br \/>\nLying with dead babies<br \/>\nThe angst who would see fit<br \/>\nTo leave a tiny baby<br \/>\nIn such a wicked place<br \/>\nA wretched buttock clenching nightmare<br \/>\nOn each tiny face<\/p>\n<p>Filthy mangy manky<br \/>\nRotten to the core<br \/>\nTemperatures above 100<br \/>\nIsnt there a law<br \/>\nProtecting little babies<br \/>\nAnd where are the owners who<br \/>\nAre supposed to give them love and care<br \/>\nAnd this is what they do<\/p>\n<p>Victimized and stricken<br \/>\nCareworn haggard souls<br \/>\nMilked to death raped of breath<br \/>\nWhere are the controls<br \/>\nWrithing aching suffering<br \/>\nMaltreated and made<br \/>\nSick at heart and sorrowful<br \/>\nWith no one to give aid<\/p>\n<p>This the dairy industry<br \/>\nIn Florida today<br \/>\nTalks up business worries<br \/>\nHow nobody will pay<br \/>\nThe right price for commodities<br \/>\nAnd now what do we see<br \/>\nAnimals taking punishment<br \/>\nAnd that is constantly<\/p>\n<p>So each time you pour your ice cold milk<br \/>\nOn your cornflakes everyday<br \/>\nRemember the poor cows straining<br \/>\nOn the rape rack<br \/>\nWho now pay<br \/>\nA terrible  price in blood and sweat<br \/>\nAnd iniquitous
