Johnny Marr - Meat Is Murder lyrics

[Intro] Heifer whines could be human cries Closer comes the screaming knife This beautiful creature must die This beautiful creature must die A d**h for no reason And d**h for no reason is murder And the flesh you so fancifully fry Is not succulent, tasty or kind It's d**h for no reason And d**h for no reason is murder And the calf that you carve with a smile Is murder And the turkey you festively slice Is murder Do you know how animals die? Kitchen aromas aren't very homely It's not comforting, cheery or kind It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench Of murder It's not natural, normal or kind The flesh you so fancifully fry The meat in your mouth As you savour the flavour Of murder No, no, no, it's murder No, no, no, it's murder Oh...and who hears when animals cry? [Outro]
