There's a war in the day no peace at night There's blood on the hands of man yet we don't sympathize The meateater kills the cows they just depersonalize to justify Their own lust as the helpless die And its ironic how we cry for world peace but the violence won't Decrease unless our murders cease. So understand in the slaughter- house who's the beast and I demand that the innocent be released Well I've tried the best I can. I've tried to understand Civilized man so-called civilized man Yes I've tried the best I can but who can understand civilzed Man? Guilt free so-called morality. Fallacy. The four food groups just Western medicine quackery (meat would be) $35 a pound but our taxes subsidize as 35 Starve as we gourmandize The grains that could feed the world go to their industry to Fatten up the cattle and I protest Rain forests once here kiss goodbye the biosphere ozone nightmare Just see the people don't even care Well I've tried the best I can. I've tried to understand Civilized man so-called civilized man Yes I've tried the best I can but who can understand civilzed Man? Guilt free we overlooked the blood and brutality And the TV propaganda covers heinous reality A plea to the people of this land to do what they can with hope for a Civilized man Well I've tried the best I can. I've tried to understand Civilized man so-called civilized man Yes I've tried the best I can but who can understand civilzed Man?
