Meat Is Murder Lyrics - Morrissey

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?
