Locked at will in pens and cages
Factory farms and circus stages
Sad and cold as winter rain
When does it stop, when does it change?
So much pain, so much suffering
Leaves my mind numb, leaves me wondering
Peacock feathered hats of sorts
Endangered coats and wraps and so much more
Yes Grade A meat is murder
There’s no defense for the butcher, or the sheepherder
Must be their sad, cold pathology
A disordered hurt, and personality
Fake fur hunts and pet store training
Cats and dogs but hey it's not raining
Watchful wildlife welfare cops
Suspicious minds and body shops
Pools of sorrow, hands of tyranny
Cries from nature of injusticies
Locked at will in pens and cages
Factory farms and circus stages
Sad and cold as winter rain
When does it stop, when does it change?
