A lot of people would stop eat the meat
If they had to kill the animals
before they could eat
Look at the way the animals
them get treat
The unsanitary conditions
where some of them keep
If we were supposed to eat the meat
we would have sharp teeth
You wouldn't need a Knife
and fork can you see it
You can't eat it raw you have
to cook it complete
And put on Vegetable seasoning
to make it taste sweet
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat

Wha me eat them a wonder
