Citizen Fish - Flesh And Blood lyrics

If animals are animals And animals have brains We are no more than cannibals Who refuse to feel the pain The meat you eat is wrapped up neat You didn't see it bleed... And what you k** does not fulfil Your dietary needs Take a look from this direction And save yourself the indigestion Our guts are geared to vegetation And it's healthier as well Open your eyes and face the facts Meat cost a lot, it gives you heart attacks A now lot of people think (wrongly) vegetation lacks In vitamin B12... vitamin B12... If you really think that's gonna make you ill Then buy a bottle of vitamin pills! You could be more healthy Maybe it doesn't really bother you But can your conscience bear the strain Of all the pain that makes your food? You could feed a lot of needy people With the grain they feed to cows But can you comprehend these end results Or can you not allow Yourself to break the old tradition? False conception of nutrition Well they all eat meat on the television Except those little starving children Would you ever eat the meat From another human being? Flesh and blood Is animal Is you and me Animal is suffering
