| 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
|
| Heaven said no
|
| When you knocked out the door
|
| Your fire could kill a child and a mom
|
| Heaven said no
|
| When you pointed your gun
|
| Your face could make the joker 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
|
| They’re fed other cows, they’re fed
|
| Hundreds of thousands are poisoned and blinded
|
| To test cosmetics for the small, small minded
|
| The 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
|
| Heaven said no
|
| When you knocked out the door
|
| Your fire could kill a child and a mom
|
| Heaven said no
|
| When you pointed your gun
|
| Your face could make the joker 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
|
| Heaven said no
|
| When you knocked out the door
|
| Your fire could kill a child and a mom
|
| Heaven said no
|
| When you pointed your gun
|
| Your face could make the joker wake up |
