A5    F5            G5  F5           A5      F5   A5    F5
     Heifer whines ...    could be human cries 
A5    F5   G5  F5      A5             F5      A5   F5
Closer,  comes   the screaming knife
F5                                          D5
This beautiful creature must die ... this beautiful creature must die 
    F5                        G5                      A5
A death for no reason, and death for no reason is murder
         F5                                    D5
And the flesh you so fancifully fry, is not succulent, tasty, or kind
      F5          F5          F5                 F5      A5         D5
It's death for no reason, and death for no reason is murder
        F5             F5            F5     F5      A5        D5
And the calf that you carve with a smile ... is murder
          F5           F5      F5     F5      A5     C5
And the turkey you festively slice ... is murder
         B5                      A5   F5   G5   F5
  Do you know how animals die?
  
A5     F5     A5   F5               F5                   D5          
Kitchen aroma's ...  aren't very homely... It's not comforting, cheery, or kind
     F5         F5           F5      F5         A5         D5
It's sizzling blood, and the unholy stench of MURDER
         F5                                 D5
It's not natural, normal, or kind ... the flesh you so fancifully fry
    F5             F5        F5          F5          A5         D5
The meat in your mouth as you savor the flavor of murder
F5   F5  F5  F5          A5  D5    F5   F5  F5  F5           A5    C5
No,  no,  no ... it's murder...     no,  no,  no ...  it's murder
       B5                         
Who hears when animals cry?
