Making a Killing

(Intro)

There's absolutely no trick to looking back on the great injustices of our time

And condemning them, we understand that, we've got that

The trick is always to look at what we're doing today

As if we're at some point in the future looking back

And figure out what the oppressions and the injustices are

That we're committing today

And to get them out of our lives

(Chorus: Thea Alana)

Heaven said no

When you knocked out the door

Your fire could kill a child and a mom

Heaven said no

When you pointed your gun

Your face could make the joker wake up

(Verse 1: Vinnie Paz)

Do you have compassion for everything alive?

Or animals don't matter to you, they can be deprived

Animals are individuals and have feelings too

They feel loneliness and happiness like people do

25 billion killed every year

The average person culpable for 90 plus a year

Overcrowded stalls, cages, and crates

No sunlight, no grass under their feet

They breathe, and they think, and they feel

But we feast, and we drink, and we kill

Factory farms inject stimulants and hormones

They're fed other cows, they're fed hog bones

Hundreds of thousands are poisoned and blinded

To test cosmetics for the small, small minded

The rain forests being destroyed to raise cattle

Wildlife habitat became the battle

They spray farms with herbicides and pesticides

You know how much poison is in insecticides?

The same chemicals destroy topsoil

And leak into the ground and turn the ocean into oil

Genetically manipulated to grow larger

Only to be led to the slaughter

I don't see it as being a conquest

But people need to fight while there's still time left

(Chorus: Thea Alana)

Heaven said no

When you knocked out the door

Your fire could kill a child and a mom

Heaven said no

When you pointed your gun

Your face could make the joker wake up

(Verse 2: Vinnie Paz)

Crash and combine the crates and tear them by the neck

They can't move their bodies and they could starve to death

They bang their heads from the psychological distress

Hellish conditions, that's not what I would call respect

Would you do that to your dog or your cat?

Do you really see the difference in a frog or a rat?

What's sacred to you here might not be sacred in Tibet

So who are you to say what should be eaten or a pet

It's a revolving door and it turn

You can't differentiate between the moral concern

An agitated pig might bite each other's tails

So they hack it off at birth and then they lead it into hell

Chicken beaks are seared off by farmers

But they call it debeaking, I call it torture

Boiled alive, you don't think it's karma?

Money come before mercy, that's the mantra

Cows give birth, their calfs are separated

Factory workers are either scared or they're jaded

The leather industry is tied to the meat industry

Inextricably they're both responsible for misery

A non-meat diet can slow the process of aging

Avoid toxic food, contaminants, and enslavement

Reduce global warming and end world hunger

So think about it next time you sit down for supper

(Chorus: Thea Alana)

Heaven said no

When you knocked out the door

Your fire could kill a child and a mom

Heaven said no

When you pointed your gun

Your face could make the joker wake up
