The Prisoner 03:08
I want to roam I want to graze I´m not your rump I´m not your steak Don´t want to go I want to stay Has my time come? Don´t send me away [How do you feel?] You prod and kick me You hurt me You load me on the trailer but I really don´t wanna How would you feel if you were in my shoes I want my freedom I ´m not your slave It´s not too late. Just please abstain (from eating meat) Don´t send me away

Don't Eat Me 04:03
Open the door I hate living in darkness I never have seen daylight How the hell can you call this free range? I just want to live my life Not my will to live as your slave Don´t eat me, quiero vivir, I want to live So don´t eat me, en libertad, in liberation Don´t eat me, No. Don´t eat me, for a better world I feel so claustrophobic There is no room for me to move Crowd surfing is for punk rock I have not felt the ground for days.

I ask you why you have a deer head mounted on your wall you say you do because “It´s so beautiful” my mother´s beauty is also too well recognized But I think a photograph will, serve better than that bloody prize Running, blood river of the dead Crying, as the forest´s painted red. The perversity of hunting Will be your fatal downfall One day you will get yours Because killing ain´t your entertainment! You ask me why I care for, wild untamed animals I retort why do you care for, your mother, sister or father? Would you be upset if a stranger killed your dog in the night? And would you be terrified if you the hunter were the hunted?

It ´s Friday night, I am getting ready for the show Foundation blush, lipstick and eye shadow With my conscience clear I have no fear The animals I hurt for my beauty little do I know. Or maybe I don´t care because fashion´s more important Maybe I don´t want to know ´Cause ignorance is bliss Convenience is my agenda I am so fucking selfish But really I don´t give a shit I look so good damn hot. Next you have to pick your outfit for tonight Accessorize with the latest murdered cowhide With your red suede shoes You bring the blues. The animals you hurt you for your fashion little do you how Or maybe you don´t care because fashion´s more important Maybe you don´t want to know ´Cause ignorance is bliss Convenience is your agenda You’re so fucking selfish But really you don´t give a shit You look so good damn hot. Not. Rouge is the colour of the blood

Bacon 03:05
I just can't believe it. What you're saying to me. You abstain from meat, milk, eggs, gelatin, leather and honey. You just can't believe it What I'm saying to you That I don't wear fur, use animals do those things you do. What about the bacon? What about the bacon? I don't want your bacon fucking stinks. You talk about equality But you just cannot see That all of Earth’s animals have emotions just like you and me. It's a travesty. It's hypocrisy. The use of non-human animals is essentially a form of slavery. Stop! What about the bacon? What about the bacon? I don't want your bacon fucking stinks. I dont want your bacon. I´d rather have your Facon I´d rather leave the bacon on the pig. On the pig!

Save Me 02:54
The sun has set on this vengeful day. The sun has set and everything's going to be okay. You are living a lie. Save Me. The sun has set on this vengeful day. The sun has set and everything's not going to be okay. You've been living a lie. Save Me. Save me. I don't want to live like this. I don't want to walk in my own piss. I just want to live Save me. Just save me. Just save me from this hell.

Conexión 02:36
Espanol: Caminando en dirección por todas partes un perro en las calles corriendo solo Un pájaro enjaulado en la ventana cantando triste, utilizado Si te das cuenta lo que se esconde en su mirada solo haz la conexión Las carnicerías te muestran trozos pero fueron alguien a quién no viste No es necesario ver para creer tan solo escucha lo que te dicen --- English translation: Walking around everywhere a dog in the street running alone a caged bird in the window singing sad they are used If you realise what is hidden in his look just make the connection The butchers show pieces but they were someone you didn´t see them it is not must necessary see to believe just hear what they try to tell you

You take me out onto this track. And I am not looking back. I run as fast as I can go. Still they say that I am too slow. You crack the whip, and it lashes on my lip. I looked at you and you said you love me. I jump the fence and break these fucking legs. I looked at you and you said you love me. So you pump my body full of drugs. Like steroids and meth-amphetamine. So you take me back into the stable. I lost this race, a tragedy this fable. Now that I'm broken I am of no use to you. An expendable commodity, your love was false Crack out that plastic tarpaulin. And then you cock that deadly gun. Just look the other way. These things will never be okay.

Essential 02:52
It´s such a lovely day the southern wind in my face I take a look outside I´m swimming in my place I´m swimming with my pod These are my friends, my family I wouldn´t dare to try to hurt you Why do you want to kill me? Why do you want to hurt me? Don´t you know that I´m essential to this fragile ecosystem Without me you all shall perish It´s such a lovely day until I see that Yushin Maru gunning for me 20 knots Why do you want to kill me?

Bacon LOL I am the boss of hell Got milk got grieving mothers I ring the dairy bell You’re all about ice cream. But you ignore the screams. Trucks full of crying babies, They destroy my dreams. Either you're vegan or you support violence against animals There is no third option just so you know - it simply isn't possible On the weekends do you drown fish and think you are invincible? If there's death on our plate and our clothes and our shoes, we'll never be spiritual Environmentalists, Please take not of this If you eat animals, dairy and eggs, You’re part of the problem I only eat free range I am not deranged I live the lie 24/7 My hands are not bloodstained Either you're vegan or you support violence against animals There is no third option just so you know - it simply isn't possible Do you blast ducks from the sky and you think that that’s acceptable? If there's death on our plate and our clothes and our shoes, we'll never be spiritual.

Anti-Vegan 02:16
Where do you get your protein? You're going to get real sick. And If you don´t eat red meat, You'll be deficient in zinc. These are the stupid lines Of the anti-vegan Don't pretend to care You're going to kill more animals By eating veg, fruit and grain. And hasn't anybody told you, That plants feel just the same?
12.
Borneo 03:10
I just got back from Borneo. Traveled around the world. The culture, the people and food was great. But something just didn't sit straight. Destruction, corruption, economic plight. Pollution, collusion, mass deforestation. We need to something now to save our humanity. We need to something now. To stop this atrocity. I just got back from Borneo. Traveled around the world. The things I learned, the things I saw, the things I can't ignore. Human interest, corporate profits. Priority #1. Moral standards and compassion. Priority none. We need to something now. To save our humanity. We need to something now. To stop this atrocity. We need to something now. To save the orangutan. We need to something now. Tomorrow is too late. Take action now Don't support these industries. Take action now Criminalise these atrocities. Take action now Palm oil turmoil. Take action now Go vegan today.
13.
Abolition 03:34
The Americans knew, it was wrong And Spartacus fought, the Romans. Yet we still have slavery. Speciesism, it's time to stop. Abolition. Abolition. A song of justice. Sing for freedom. It's not about, your journey. It is about, what morally You have an obligation To do right now, it's time to stop. You gotta sing it! Sing this song.
14.
Sad Songs 04:23
You can keep freedom floating alive in the water. You can keep their hearts without pain. You can see empathy is on the horizon. So many lives saved, hope is in our hands. I don't want to write these somber songs any longer. I just want to be myself again. And I don't want to write these sad songs anymore. All you need to do is be sensitive All you have to do is care. All we need to do is be sensitive All we have to do is care. I know I have to write these somber songs a little longer. I have to help you to understand. And I don’t want to write these sad songs anymore.
