Hey, hey is this mic on? 'Cause I'm about to sing you my vegan song 'Cause eating animals is totally wrong Newsflash plant based is the future Why don't ya take a seat and I'll be your vegan tutor Old McDonald had a farm, cattle ranch, the coop and barn It's called grass-fed grass beef and it's a marketing scam Cage-free, free-range, green eggs and ham It doesn't mean a thing and it's not humane Take murder out of meat, you must be insane Killing is a vice don't justify it It isn't your choice if you take a life by it Chewing their cud of feedstock fodder Factory farms and guiltless slaughter Tagged and branded, castrated quickly packaged in plastic and styrofoam pretty, Renamed steak, T-bone, ribs and rib-eye With a label selling smiles of happy animals lies! Culture you're not seeing things straight Your stubborn views and bigotry are out of date But you'd believe it if it's all you've ever known Tradition's funny 'cause nothing's ever set in stone Eeny meeny miny moe to beat a dead horse, and a bucking bronco The whips, the kicks, ready set go, a sight to see at the rodeo Animal abuse like it's no big deal Of course animals can think and feel The donkey pulls the yoke and the oxen pulls the plow Sunny side up good morning milk the cow Here for us to use however we choose, said the devil in us a voice untrue. And the search for truth won't be found this way These kinds of teachers lead our minds astray Profit-hungry politicians on a mission For you better believe that industry is gonna cheat their way to secrecy So they'll use a false dilemma and fallacious claims, ad hominem attacks and play straw man games They'll do it all and everything so profit remains. Tomatoes, tomatoes. potatoes, potatoes Eating high carb, healthy fats from avocados Apples and oranges eat an apple a day Nothing rhymes with orange, so how bout OJ? Bananas, kiwi, strawberry and lemon, blueberry, pears, plums and watermelon For all the vitamins and minerals you need Get your iron, calcium, and beta carotene and next time, leave animals alone Oh! What you think I was gonna say Don't play dumb I can sing this all day Can see you've been brainwashed and ignorance is bliss, but I've got something to say you won't want to miss You've been duped Farmers say their animals get the utmost care, bedtime stories, belly rubs They call it animal welfare Too funny, they're all about the money Humane? that's only what they go around believing Morally correct, yet masters at deceiving themselves and others too The generation after learns nothing new They create laws, legislative action, but our voice in court won't cause a reaction And they're never gonna hear the screams 'cause all the suffering stays behind the scenes A lobbyist group joins in the fight They argue it out and they keep it airtight 'cause money talks, always gets the last word When will the voice of animals ever be heard?
