You are responsible

VERSE
Fm
Could you shoot a cow?
Cm
Stab a goat?
Bfm
Hold a little sheep
Fm
And slit its throat

Would you feed a pig a diet that includes
Euthanised pets
Which have been dried and ground and sold as
"Protein concentrates"?

Then slaughter it
And eat its guts
Then grind up whatever's left
for growing piglets?

CHORUS
This is you
I'm afraid it's true
Cos the men who do
They work for you

VERSE
Could you inseminate a cow?
In a very very painful way
Then 9 months later come back and
Take its baby away

Then drag that calf down 
Into your basement
And never ever let it
See light again

Chain it up 
So it can't sit down
Give it a diet of liquid food
So it lives with diarrhoea

CHORUS
This is you
I'm afraid it's true
Cos the men who do
They work for you

MIDDLE
Fm
You are responsible
Bfm
You are responsible
Fm
You are responsible
Cm

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
Would you feed your children hormones
In the interests of economics
Or give them health complications
From a diet of animal antibiotics

Or have them absorb the emotions
Of an animal that lived in torture
And thoughts from the mind of the man
Who shot it through the head

CHORUS
But you do
I'm afraid it's true
If only they knew
The things they chew

This is you
It's all you
If only you knew
Well now you do
