Death On The Shelf

from Death On The Shelf by Gab De La Vega

/

lyrics

a plastic package on the shelf
a piece of meat on your plate
just a product to consume
a life you take, stolen to become food

your food had eyes to see the world
your food felt the pain as you do
your food loved its cubs as you love your darlings

you turn your eyes away from here
as I show you the tragedy of your faults

this massacre is not necessary

you say it's unfair that some people starve
complain about the third world but
it's easy to complain with your mouth full of death

stop and think about this – stop and think about this

so try to understand and not to judge
veganism is the key that brings a change

an equal world for everybody

I see no reason why you claim yourself
above the other passengers of the long trip
on this planet, you don't have the right

to kill and eat to keep in cage, to separate a mother
and her son to spill their blood and to give pain and torture
breeding lives to kill again and eat the dead exploiting just to satisfy
a need you could actually satisfy in many other ways without taking
a single life away from anybody, try to understand
that you can bring a change for them, for you for the hungry,
for the whole world.

a new world.
