Making A Killing
(专辑: The Bridge & The Abyss - 2018)
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 [Thea Alana:] 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 [Vinnie Paz:] 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 [Thea Alana:] 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 [Vinnie Paz:] 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 calves 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 [Thea Alana:] 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
