Old McDonald had a farm but that was long ago And the farm he has today Well it's a little different than the one we used to know Well the good ole' farm where the animals are free Has been replaced by a factory And it's so outrageous that they're locked up in cages For the rest of their life that's where they'll be Now in the picture books when we grew up We learned all about the farm And all the happy animals that lived here And the farmer who could do them no harm He was the jolliest guy you ever did see And the animals loved him well He was their friend, but that was back then Before he turned his back on them If Old McDonald ever loved his animals It was long ago indeed 'Cause now the only thing that matters is production speed Ain't it funny how a man can change When love's replaced by greed? Why are these animals the target For the Carnivores who hunt at the supermarket? And now the factory ain't all it's hyped up to be And it sure ain't nothin like the farm They live in tiny little cages that supposedly replaces The good ole' homely barn Now they live in constant darkness and constant fear And they've been moved to a new type of diet That's laced with sulfa-drugs Hormones and arsenicals and nitrofurates and antibiotics It takes fifty pounds of grain just to make one pound of meat And every day there are people just dying in the street Over sixty million die each year 'Cause they don't have enough to eat Why, are these people the target For the carnivores who hunt at the supermarket? Now a "cluck, cluck" here and a "cluck, cluck" there Is how we were told a chicken speaks But a "cluck, cluck" here and a "cluck, cluck" there Is kinda hard to say without a beak You see the chicken they start pecking at each other Once they've finally gone insane Then their beaks are chopped off Before they cost him more profit loss Of what will still remain Over fifty percent of current rainforest destruction Is directly linked to livestock production At the current rate by year two thousand and ten The rainforest will be gone, no Why is the environment the target For the carnivores who hunt at the supermarket? Oh yes, Old McDonald had a farm but that was long ago, uh oh And the farm he has today Well it's a little different than the one we used to know But hopefully you'll the message within these words that I write I might be iconoclastic and I know I'm sarcastic But something here just ain't right This ain't no propaganda bullshit I just tell it like it is We got a fucked up situation that we can't dismiss We've been running from our problems And now it's time to catch our breath Before we run ourselves to death Listen up, all you carnivores 'Cause you'll run ourselves to death You'll run ourselves to death
