The Poor COW

Hormones and dead animals, Chemicals and concentrates Cows should be out in the fields Thats the place for ungulates The reasoning behind it all is profit for the lot of them The Farmer, and the Superstore all after massive yields Imagine it, a living creature In a concentration camp Beaten like some prisoners rendition that the prize For just being an Earthling Your led into a slaughterhouse Prodded with electric rods As huge tears fill your eyes Sworn at, punched the torture Continues every moment You try to run You do not want to die your feeling fit But the Butcher wants his profit And you are the Commodity So into a small enclosed box Your throat is cut oh! Shit! Life, the precious life you had despite the public floggings despite the crappy concentrates and the expletives on the hour Despite you being kicked and poked with a hammer till you cry out loud At least each precious moment was a moment of great power But now the blade has sliced you Your blood spills every which way Your foaming from the mouth The evil bastard stands beside Laughing, as life ebbs away You wished you'd kicked his arse, okay but you were just so docile you so kind And now you're feeling weaker by the moment Behold the golden sickle and the star lit passage lined With buttercups and daisies Reaching to Cow Heaven Choking back the blood That now runs back inside your throat Twitching its bewitching To see the light beyond And realise your murderer Did probably abscond Everywhere its blackness As the human tribe are pulling Your skin off for their leather coats and shoes and ladies bags Everywhere is darkness As the human tribe are cutting Your body up in pieces for corpse munchers and their hags |
