Lyrics - Meat Is Murder by Morrissey

Heifer whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife
This beautiful creature must die
This beautiful creature must die
A death for no reason
And death for no reason is
MURDERAnd the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
It's death for no reason
And death for no reason is
MURDERAnd the calf that you carve with a smile
Is
MURDERAnd the turkey you festively slice
Is
MURDERDo you know how animals die ?
Kitchen aromas aren't very homely
It's not "comforting", cheery or kind
It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench
Of
MURDERIt's not "natural", "normal" or kind
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth
As you savour the flavour
Of
MURDERNO,
NO,
NO,
IT'
S
MURDERNO,
NO,
NO,
IT'
S
MURDEROh ... and who hears when animals cry?
