[01:51.26] Heifer whines could be human cries

[01:57.35] Closer comes the screaming knife

[02:06.12] This beautiful creature must die

[02:10.92] This beautiful creature must die

[02:14.90] A death for no reason

[02:17.57] And death for no reason is murder

[02:23.95] And the flesh you so fancifully fry

[02:28.19] Is not succulent, tasty or kind

[02:33.25] It's death for no reason

[02:35.37] And death for no reason is murder

[02:42.81] And the calf that you carve with a smile

[02:47.06] Is murder

[02:50.51] And the turkey you festively slice

[02:55.02] Is murder

[03:00.36] Do you know how animals die?

[03:07.27] Kitchen aromas aren't very homely

[03:15.23] It's not comforting, cheery or kind

[03:20.28] It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench

[03:24.80] Of murder

[03:29.05] It's not natural, normal or kind

[03:33.30] The flesh you so fancifully fry

[03:37.81] The meat in your mouth

[03:39.67] As you savour the flavour

[03:42.33] Of murder

[03:48.43] No, no, no, it's murder

[03:55.88] No, no, no, it's murder

[04:05.97] Oh, and who hears when animals cry?
