[Verse 1]
Am F G/D F Am F Am F
Heifer whines... could be human cries
Am F G/D F Am F Am F
Closer, comes the screaming knife
F
This beautiful creature must die...
Dm7
This beautiful creature must die
F G Am
A death for no reason, and death for no reason is murder
[Chorus]
F
And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Dm7
Is not succulent, tasty, or kind
F Em Dm F Am Asus4
It's death for no reason, and death for no reason is murder
F Em Dm F Am Asus4
And the calf that you carve with a smile is murder
F Em Dm F Am C
And the turkey you festively slice is murder
B Am F G/D F
Do you know how animals die?
[Verse 2]
Am F Am F F
Kitchen aromas... aren't very homely...
Dm7
It's not comforting, cheery, or kind
F Em Dm F Am Asus4
It's sizzling blood, and the unholy stench of MURDER
[Chorus]
F
It's not natural, normal, or kind...
Dm7
The flesh you so fancifully fry
F Em Dm F Am Asus4
The meat in your mouth as you savor the flavor of murder
F Em Dm F Am Asus4
No, no, no it's murder
F Em Dm F Am C
No, no, no it's murder
B
Who hears when animals cry?
