There's absolutely no trick to looking back on the great injustices of our time And condemning them, we understand that, we've got that The trick is always to look at what we're doing today As if we're at some point in the future looking back And figure out what the oppressions and the injustices are that we're subject to today And to get them out of our lives Haven't said no When you knocked out the door [?] Haven't said no When you pointed your gun Your face could make a joke I wake up Do you have compassion for everything alive? Or animals don't matter to you, they can be deprived Animals are individuals and have feelings too They feel loneliness and happiness like people do 25 billion killed every year The average person culpable for 90 plus a year Overcrowded stalls, cages, and crates No sunlight, no grass under their feet They breathe, and they think, and they feel But we feast, and we drink, and we kill Factory farms inject stimulants and hormones SongtexteThey're fed other cows, they're fed [?] Hundreds of thousands are poisoned and blinded To test cosmetics for the small, small minded Rainforests being destroyed to raise cattle Wildlife habitat became the battle They spray farms with herbicides and pesticides You know how much poison is in insecticides? The same chemicals destroy topsoil and leak into the ground and turn the ocean into oil Genetically manipulated to grow larger Only to be led to the slaughter I don't see it as being a conquest But people need to fight while there's still time left Haven't said no When you knocked out the door [?] Haven't said no When you pointed your gun Your face could make a joke I wake up [?] combine the crates and tear them by the neck They can't move their bodies and they could starve to death They bang their heads from the psychological distress Hellish conditions, that's not what I would call respect Would you do that to your doggy or cat? Do you really see the difference in a frog or a rat? What's sacred to you here might not be sacred in Tibet So who are you to say what should be eaten or a pet It's a revolving door and it turn, you can't differentiate between the moral concern An agitated pig might bite each other's tails So they hack it off at birth and then they lead it into hell Chicken beaks are seared off by farmers But they call it debeaking, I call it torture Boiled alive, you don't think it's karma? Money come before mercy, that's the mantra Cows give birth, their calfs are separated Factory workers are either scared or they're jaded The leather industry is tied to the meat industry Inextricably they're both responsible for misery A non-meat diet can slow the process of aging Avoid toxic food, contaminants, and enslavement Reduce global warming and end world hunger So think about the next time you sit down for supper Haven't said no When you knocked out the door [?] Haven't said no When you pointed your gun Your face could make a joke I wake up Aus Songtexte Mania
