Mutually Parasitic - Slow Gherkin

Statistics go in one ear, out the other

And you may say that this is all a bore

And tuck your head back underneath the covers

It’s a slaughter of the innocents.

It’s wasteful, hateful, inefficient

The carcass that you call a feast is a parasite for man and beast

You say that chickens don’t deserve to live

'cause after all they eat each other’s feces

But could it be that we don’t understand

'cause humans are a different fucking species?

I’ve listened to your obstinate defense

It seems to me your mind’s a little lazy

You stubbornly hold on to your excuse

That eating meat is worth it 'cause it’s tasty

Now please don’t think that I expect that everybody must be perfect

I’m just hoping that these words I say will teach someone something someday
