Meat Is Murder — текст песни (The Smiths)

Heifer whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife
This beautiful creature must die
This beautiful creature must die
A death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER

And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
It`s death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER


And the calf that you carve with a smile
Is MURDER
And the turkey you festively slice
Is MURDER
Do you know how animals die ?


Kitchen aromas aren`t very homely
It`s not comforting, cheery or kind
It`s sizzling blood and the unholy stench
Of MURDER


It`s not natural, normal or kind
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth
As you savour the flavour
Of MURDER


NO, NO, NO, IT`S MURDER
NO, NO, NO, IT`S MURDER
Oh ... and who hears when animals cry ?
