lyrics

I was deprived of all six senses
Until I saw the expenses
When they slammed me into a mall
Telling me I was a woman who should walk tall
Now all these institutions are checking for my bar-code
Maybe I don’t want to eat their corpses

What a life I’ve had
Now I’m eating the hand that feeds me
What a life I’ve had
I really wish you didn’t need me

When you go through an internal revolution
But they only provide binary options
That’s when you know you’ve left the Earth
It will take them a while to dig you out of the dirt
I’m rejecting the role of this play
I never asked to be part of

What a life I’ve had
Now I’m eating the hand that feeds me
What a life I’ve had
I really wish you didn’t need me

I feel myself growing heavier each day
Maybe that’s why it’s getting harder
To lift myself out of bed
Is there something wrong with my head

What a life I’ve had
Now I’m eating the hand that feeds me
What a life I’ve had
I really wish you didn’t need me

*earthling ed*
Is the killing moral if it's out of sight, out of mind or is unnecessary killing always morally reprehensible? How many of us would oppose to see an animal being killed in front of us but go home and eat fried pig flesh, fried cow flesh, or a lamb leg...
