about

Week 4 of 5: "I'm a Stupid Carnivore", a cheeky track stemming from my own diet, weak will and cognitive dissonance, I guess.

Due to time constraints, I kind of had to cheat this week and start with a skeleton track that I had created many months ago. Wish I had more time to improve the lyrics and re-record and stuff, but oh well.

lyrics

I’ve been eating meat since I was a lil young’un
Taste buds dance with the chicken on my tongue and
Cheeks looking chubby as I stuff another dumpling
Even though my stomach full and has stopped grumbling
Mumbling "animal flesh is so tasty
So much so we even kill the babies"
The goal: to put chops of lamb on forks
Would I like some more? Yes, of course!
Ain’t even playing — I love eating poultry
So much so at times I feel I OD'd
I’m so addicted like meat is codeine
Still justify it "I need the protein"
Hah — I’m so good at rationalising
My conscience speaks but what I hear is silence
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
I wanna be a vegan and eat some meat

I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore

I look forward to when fake meat goes mainstream
And turns super cheap like a tin of baked beans
Cows turn friends and not plants that make cheese
‘Cause they love to love and they surely hate beef?
Til then I’ll rock the suede boots
My moral fibre will aim to stay loose
I wish the animals didn’t have to die
This ain’t enough to change my appetite
Why did it have to be tasty murder?
Why is it so cheap to buy a burger?
Dear science, hurry up find a solution
So my inner voice doesn't swim in pollution
Make facts meet to make the fax meat
And pollies can you make these things tax free?
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
I wanna be a vegan but eat some cheese

I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore

I hope someone else becomes vegetarian
So I can order a steak and start tearing in
Feel less guilty about eating mince
Become closer to angels slash seraphims
Yeah, did you know the ghats of Varanasi
smells like a barbie at your uncle and your aunties?
Don’t get me wrong my flesh is still weak
I wanna be a vegan and cop some sneaks so

I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
I'm a stupid carnivore
