Am  F           G/D  F           Am      F   Am   F
   Heifer whines...    could be human cries

Am    F   G/D  F      Am             F   Am   F
Closer,  comes   the screaming knife

     F
This beautiful creature must die...

     Dm7
This beautiful creature must die

    F                        G                      Am
A death for no reason, and death for no reason is murder

         F
And the flesh you so fancifully fry

        Dm7
Is not succulent, tasty, or kind

      F           Em           Dm            F       Am     Asus4
It's death for no reason, and death for no reason is murder

        F             Em            Dm   F      Am   Asus4
And the calf that you carve with a smile is murder

         F          Em        Dm   F      Am  C
And the turkey you festively slice is murder

         B                  Am   F   G/D   F
Do you know how animals die?

Am     F     Am  F                F
Kitchen aromas...  aren't very homely...

           Dm7
It's not comforting, cheery, or kind

     F          Em           Dm      F         Am     Asus4
It's sizzling blood, and the unholy stench of MURDER

         F
It's not natural, normal, or kind...

     Dm7
The flesh you so fancifully fry

    F             Em          Dm          F        Am    Asus4
The meat in your mouth as you savor the flavor of murder

F   Em  Dm  F      Am   Asus4
No, no, no  it's murder

F   Em  Dm  F      Am    C
No, no, no  it's murder

       B
Who hears when animals cry?
