Oh, it’s your life, so you decide
And everyone else has got to live with your choices
And who am I, to tell you what’s right?
Everyone else has to respect your choices
Why can’t they see, you just can’t life without cheese
You’re doing all that you can - life is so unfair
You don’t want them to die, but it’s okay when they suffer?
Why can’t they just buy your cheap excuses?
Born into slavery - raised in a cage
Never saw the light of day - where’s your outrage?
Grew up with a pet and claim to love all of them
Compassion and Peace - completely your thing
But the fur on your coat just looks so damn cute
I mean, come on what’s the deal, got nothing else to do?
Meat? Only on weekends - grass-fed and organic
From the farmer next door, who loves his cows like his children
I just asked the animals and guess what they said
Oh what, they said they don’t care? Go to hell - fuck you!
No, I don’t want to see - suffering, death, agony and torment
I don’t want to hear - the anxious screams of pain, the ultimate death cry
I don’t want to know - constantly being raped, force fed until they die
So I just close my eyes - no it doesn’t happen, it is not present - no!
I will open up your eyes - force you to see
I will make you feel - sense of justice comes over me
I will make you hear - no longer deaf to their cries
I will make you see - and if I have to burn it right into your eyes
You will open up your eyes
You’ll feel what they’ve been through
You will make up your mind
You’ll see what they have seen
