Hey! After All, They Are Only Animals

They are only animals, force them to mass unclean in their own filthy waste

They are only animals, abuse them all if that is to your taste

For they are only animals under man's dominion, by our god’s grace

They are only animals, they do not need each other’s company

They are only animals, give them drugs and empty lives in cages

For they are only animals - far lesser things than we

They are only animals, without spirits needing to be free

They are only animals, so we can mass-produce them

For they are only animals, not our children, don't you see

They are only animals, take them from their kind

They are only animals, crowd them into feedlots

For they are only animals, they don't need peace of mind

They are only animals, let them die in factories

They are only animals, trust them to the big companies

For they are only animals, lacking our noble sensibilities

They are only animals, cut off their tusks and leave them lay

They are only animals, kill the babies too, before they can get away

For they are only animals, there really is nothing more to say

They are only animals, destroy their very habitat

They are only animals, make it warmer and see if they can take it

For they are only animals and that's about the end of that

They are only animals, foul their drinking water

They are only animals, cut down their forest homes

For they are only animals but we are following our Father

They are only animals, let them breed in zoos

They are only animals, maybe just preserve some DNA

For they are only animals, they have no way to refuse

They are only animals, skin them while still alive

They are only animals, put out poisoned traps

For they are only animals, and we humans must survive

They are only animals, they have no rights in court

They are only animals, not up to human standards

For they are only animals and lack morals of any sort

They are only animals, shrink wrap their meat in cellophane

They are only animals, grind the scraps to feed their babies

For they are only animals, feast upon their desecrated remains

And we are lowly animals without souls to steal away

And we are the lonely animals who have gone astray

For we too are all only animals despite all that we might say
