Heifer whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife

[C]This beautiful creature must die
[A]This beautiful creature must die
[C]A death for no reason
[D]And death for no reason i[E]s MURDER
[C]And the flesh you so fancifully fry
[A]Is not succulent, tasty or kind
[C]It's death for no [B]reason
And [A]death for no [D]reason is MURDER[E]
[A] And the [C]calf that you [B]carve with a smi[A]le
[D]Is MURDER [E]
[A] And the [C]turkey you fes[B]tively sl[A]ice
[D]Is MURDER [E]
[G] Do [F#]you know how [F]animals die ?
2.19 MAIN RIFF
Kitchen aromas aren't very [C]homely
It's not "[A]comforting", cheery or kind
[C]It's sizzling blood an[D]d the unholy stench
Of MURDER[E]
It's not "[C]natural", "normal" or kind
The [A]flesh you so fancifully fry
The [C]meat in your [B]mouth
As yo[A]u savour th[D]e flavour
Of MURDER[E]
[A] [C]NO, [B]NO, [A]NO, [D]IT'S MURDER[E]
[A] [C]NO, [B]NO, [A]NO, [D]IT'S MURDER[E]
Oh [G]... and [F#]who hears when [F]animals cry?
