Mommy's dragged across the kill floor

Leaving just a memory

Mommy why were you taken from me?

Mommy what else did you leave for me?

Mommy what'd you leave behind for me?

All in all I was 
Just a tag in your stall

All in all we was
All just stacks in your mall

V1:

We don't need forced insemination

We don't need no fake hormones 

Antibiotics injected in us

Breeders leave them pigs alone

Hey farmers, leave those chicks alone

Ch1: 
All in all we're just another tag in your stall 
All in all we're just another stack in your mall

V2:

We don't need no slaughterhouses

We don't need no factory farms

Such destruction and pollution

People leave the earth alone

Hey humans, leave them all alone

Ch2:

All it takes is a tonne of fish in the haul

All in all they're just another stack in your mall 

V3:

I don't need meat, milk is murder

I don't need the cholesterol

I have seen the writing on the wall

Don't think eat animals at all 

No, don't think I'll eat animals at all

Ch3: 

All in all we're just setting up for a fall 

All in all we're just setting up for a fall

Br1: 

If you don't eat your meat, you can't have your pudding 
 How can you have your pudding if you don't eat your meat? 

Br2:

Wake up, cruel world, there's no time left today

Wake up, wake up, wake up,

Wake up all you people,
There's nothing left to say
Too long, we have been blind,
Wake up.

Another Stack in the Mall - Final

Take your children to a slaughter house
If there’s nothing wrong with it
Let them stand above the carcasses
Now rotting in the pit

If everything was peachy
And they exterminate with pride
Then it wouldn’t be illegal 
Just to have a look inside

Take your aim and shoot the messenger
For showing you the violence
Willfully as ignorant as any we
Try to convince 

Fuel up your firewall
Fight to keep your blinders on
Tell yourself there’s more important
Things for you to focus on

If it only rings a bell, if you’ve only heard of hell
I hope you find the time to see for yourself

Not good enough for your eyes
Not good enough for your plate
And your casual disregard
Is more destructive than hate

And choosing to ignore it 
Won’t make it go away
And the nightmare will continue
Just as long as you pay 

Thanks for funding the apocalypse 
Have another hamburger
Drip the blood between your lips
Cross hairs of the aperture

Shoot a picture of the violence
And they will call you a criminal 
Shoot an animal for fun
And you can hang it on the wall

Not good enough for your eyes
Not good enough for your plate
And your casual disregard
Is more destructive than hate

And the truth kept from the children
Lets the genocide perpetuate
But your willingness to bear witness
Just might save us from this fate

Bear Witness

A song cut from our forthcoming vegan musical "Camp Compassion." The saying "have your cake and eat it, too" is used when there are two desirable but mutually exclusive or contradictory options; i.e., you can’t have both at the same time. As our song explains, and as any vegan can attest, you can indeed eat delicious and nutritious food that contains exactly no animal products, thus the song title. "Go vegan for a week and you will see / There's no culinary need for cruelty"

Lyrics:

YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND VEGAN, TOO!
GUARANTEE YOU WHAT YOU MAKE YOU’LL BE EATIN’ THROUGH!
 
THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN’T MAKE!
IT’S A VEGAN PIECE OF CAKE!
A SEASONING FOR EVERY SEASON
THE REASONING IS STRICTLY VEGAN
 
YOU CAN MAKE SOME VEGAN VINDALOO
DO IT FOR YOUR SAKE AND YOUR CHILDREN, TOO
 
VEGAN FOOD IS SO DELICIOUS
VEGAN FOOD IS SO NUTRITIOUS
THE ONLY THING THAT WILL BE MISSING
IS THE ANIMAL HARM FOR WHICH YOU WEREN’T WISHING
 
[DANCE]
 
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND VEGAN, TOO!
GUARANTEE YOU WHAT YOU MAKE YOU’LL BE EATIN’ THROUGH!

CAN’T YOU FEEL YOUR ATTITUDE IS SHIFTING
A SURE FIRED SIGN THAT YOUR HEART IS LIFTING
GO VEGAN FOR A WEEK AND YOU WILL SEE
THERE’S NO CULINARY NEED FOR CRUELTY

YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE…AND VEGAN, TOO!
GUARANTEE YOU WHAT YOU MAKE YOU’LL BE EATIN’ THROUGH!
 
VEGAN FOOD IS SO DELICIOUS
[HOO!]
VEGAN FOOD IS SO NUTRITIOUS
[HOO!]
THE ONLY THING THAT WILL BE MISSING
IS THE ANIMAL HARM FOR WHICH YOU WEREN’T WISHING
 
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND VEGAN, TOO!
GUARANTEE YOU WHAT YOU MAKE YOU’LL BE EATIN’ THROUGH!
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND VEGAN
ANY DISH THAT YOU WANNA BE EATIN’
YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL – AND VEGAN, TOO!

You Can Have Your Cake and Vegan, Too!

It’s so much easier to believe that there’s nothing wrong
Almost impossible to conceive of the harm we’ve done
The psychological disconnect needed for this crime
I’m sad to say that it wouldn’t be the first time

I’m gonna put this as delicately as possible
These bad habits are bringing on the fall
It’s not just plastic and fossil fuel oh no my people
Our bad habits are killing us all

It’s that bad habit bad habit that must be broken
It’s that sad truth sad truth that must be spoken
When the kindness in our hearts
Overcomes our appetites
We will have woken woken yeah 

We put the animals in their mouths before they can speak
Our best intentions are unaware of the havoc we wreak
We get them hooked on a steady diet of violence
They spend the rest of their lives in cognitive dissonance
                 
You’ll find the butcher in food stores next to the pharmacy
Drugs in prescriptions and drugs pumped into the ones you eat
Strung out on drugs in the ones they kill strung up by their feet
We buy our pills for the ills we get from a drug called meat
