Making a Killing

There's absolutely no trick to looking
 Back on the great injustices of our time
 And condemning them, we understand that, we've got that
 The trick is always to look at what we're doing today
 As if we're at some point in the future looking back
 And figure out what the oppressions and
 The injustices are that we're committing today
 And to get them out of our lives
 Heaven said no
 When you knocked out the door
 Your fire could kill a child and a mom
 Heaven said no
 When you pointed your gun
 Your face could make the joker wake up
 Do you have compassion for everything alive?
 Or animals don't matter to you, they can be deprived
 Animals are individuals and have feelings too
 They feel loneliness and happiness like people do
 25 billion killed every year
 The average person culpable for 90 plus a year
 Overcrowded stalls, cages, and crates
 No sunlight, no grass under their feet
 They breathe, and they think, and they feel
 But we feast, and we drink, and we kill
 Factory farms inject stimulants and hormones
 They're fed other cows, they're fed hog bones
 Hundreds of thousands are poisoned and blinded
 To test cosmetics for the small, small minded
 The rain forests being destroyed to raise cattle
 Wildlife habitat became the battle
 They spray farms with herbicides and pesticides
 You know how much poison is in insecticides?
 The same chemicals destroy topsoil and leak
 Into the ground and turn the ocean into oil
 Genetically manipulated to grow larger
 Only to be led to the slaughter
 I don't see it as being a conquest
 But people need to fight while there's still time left
 Heaven said no
 When you knocked out the door
 Your fire could kill a child and a mom
 Heaven said no
 When you pointed your gun
 Your face could make the joker wake up
 Crash and combine the crates and tear them by the neck
 They can't move their bodies and they could starve to death
 They bang their heads from the psychological distress
 Hellish conditions, that's not what I would call respect
 Would you do that to your dog or your cat?
 Do you really see the difference in a frog or a rat?
 What's sacred to you here might not be sacred in Tibet
 So who are you to say what should be eaten or a pet
 It's a revolving door and it turn,
 You can't differentiate between the moral concern
 An agitated pig might bite each other's tails
 So they hack it off at birth and then they lead it into hell
 Chicken beaks are seared off by farmers
 But they call it debeaking, I call it torture
 Boiled alive, you don't think it's karma?
 Money come before mercy, that's the mantra
 Cows give birth, their calfs are separated
 Factory workers are either scared or they're jaded
 The leather industry is tied to the meat industry
 Inextricably they're both responsible for misery
 A non-meat diet can slow the process of aging
 Avoid toxic food, contaminants, and enslavement
 Reduce global warming and end world hunger
 So think about it next time you sit down for supper
 Heaven said no
 When you knocked out the door
 Your fire could kill a child and a mom
 Heaven said no
 When you pointed your gun
 Your face could make the joker wake up
