Paroles: Humanifesto. A Declaration Of Intent. Artificial Need.

Spend their lives living in cages through the ages all for you
and all your selfish wants and desires not thinking what you put them through.
And now all I want is for their children's lives to not be spent behind bars
imprisoned to feed your endless greed

Lives lost every day to placate an artificial need
the belief that human life is worth more than other kinds
Open your eyes and see through all the lies we're fed each day
lives are lives regardless of species

Scientists conduct their tests on the effects of chemicals
pills, and radiation without a thought of animal welfare
and now all I want is to burn down their offices
free the prisoners, and firebomb those sadists in their homes

Lives lost every day to placate an artificial need
the belief that human life is worth more than other kinds
Open your eyes and see through all the lies we're fed each day
lives are lives regardless of species

I've seen the fashionistas sporting corpses on their backs
the furs and flesh of lives they've thrown away
And all the leather jackets and those rocking blue suede shoes aren't fucking cool
they're fucking cruel
The leather purse that's hanging off your shoulder holds more than
makeup, kleenex, condoms and pocket change
and that strap that's wrapped around your neck
is dripping with the blood of slaughtered lives

Lives lost every day to placate an artificial need
the belief that human life is worth more than other kinds
Open your eyes and see through all the lies we're fed each day
lives are lives regardless of species

Injecting antibiotics will do the trick to keep the health
of all the animals confined too close to move or breathe or live
And now hormone injections give us full grown animals in half the time
to double production and perpetuate holocaust
