When I was younger I heard a sound,
came to me from the dark side of town,
they were getting the cattle in,
never heard such a mournful din,
to the place where they render the beasts into muck
for frozen burgers and discount chuck,
I caught the chorus on the reel to reel,
you can still hear them singing.
But it’s a song that won’t ever be heard
on the radio, don’t be absurd,
it’s all too sad and you can’t understand a word,
it’s not remotely danceable.
We’ll get what we deserve for what we’ve done to the animals.
Oh gentlemen, ladies, your pound of flesh
and blood, take a barrel of the stuff,
from the fruit of your own loins -
‘Tidbits Of Your Kids!’ -

All the beasts of the earth and the sky
seems we’re here just to make you die,
bake you into a murderous pie,
fry you on to a stick.
Every living thing with which the water teems,
in the cloud of our legion latrines,
in the nets of our trawling machines,
in the plastic sub-marine…
All beasts of the earth, of the vault of the sky,
drugged up, fed up, forced to multiply,
burned out, poisoned, run down, electrified,
clear out spaces to feed our faces…
and that’s why
We’ll get what we deserve for what we’ve done to the animals.
