Sacred Cows

Headlines all went mad cow disease sensation

Bseized by panic in a big meat-eating nation

They told us beef was safe then told us not to eat it

Got banned from exportation but not from the supermarket

Before someone else died

But the people they all cried

'We need our meat and the money it makes'

You can't get a better bit of profit on your plate

Frightening to see how money and tradition

Can over-ride the facts and force a position

Now stickers in four-wheeled vehicles say

'I'm proud to eat beef' instead of

'My other car's polluting as well'

So much that it's fucking up the food chain, hell

What's that taste? It's animal waste

The look on your face says 'What's that smell?'

It's the stink of dead flesh

It's the sunday best

And other sacred cows

But they've all gone mad now

Well you'd be pretty mad too

If what happened to cows happened to you

Having your children taken away

Forced to stand in a pen each day

Fed the shit from other dead things

Then chopped to bits...

We all suggest you go vegetarian

Then all these problems are all sorted out!
