about

We decided to topic vegetarianism with a more fatalistic and dogmatic vibe as to others might favor. It’s basically everyone’s decision to eat meat or not, but in our opinion vegetarianism/veganism is an easy step to make for something that has such a big impact on our lives and our environment. If you look at all the pandemics that made the world hold their breath the last decennium you’d be surprised how many of them are in someway connected to animal exploiting industries.

lyrics

Rows and rows of meat we’ll keep on buying
We’re always so passive to make any change
But I wish we would make a stand
By rejecting the dirt we eat

Mutilation
Beyond recognition
Hamburgers
To fill the filthy mouths with

We are all guilty- by messing with things we cannot mess with
But with our rules of playing god- we just end up killing a lot
‘Cause we created a system that eventually kills all of us
Release the viruses because we like our bacon so much
And if you see through it – you cannot deny
That it’s all so immoral but the reasons are covered with lies

Drink blood
Eat bone
Baked corpse
For ill souls
Just drink blood
And eat bone
Feed the blind
Into sick souls

It’s a system that kills all of us
Release the viruses because we like our bacon so fucking much
And if you see through it – you cannot deny
That it’s all so immoral but the reasons are covered with lies

Rows and rows of meat we’ll keep on buying
We always so passive to make any change
But I wish we would make a stand
By rejecting the dirt we eat (3x)
By rejecting…
