Open your eyes to the millions of lies that they tell you every day
Open your mind to the clever disguise that the advirtisements say
How do they know what's good for you?
Wake up, Wake up woohoo
Wake up, Wake up woohoo
A shot to the head, They're better off dead
Will you wake up, wake up, woohoo
Destory all the land, kill what you can just to make the profits rise
Sell you from birth
For all that your worth
Money spreads like lies
How do they know what's good for you
Wake up, Wake up, woohoo
Wake up, Wake up, woohoo
A shot to the head they're better off dead
Won't you wake up, wake up, woohoo

RUN!

Don't want to hate you
Don't want to blame it all on you
Out of options
If you don't look, I'll force you too
If you don't look, I'll force you too
If you don't look, ILL FORCE YOU TOO!

Wake up, Wake up, woohoo,
Wake up, Wake up, woohoo,
A shot to the head, just so you can be fed,
Open your eyes, Open your eyes,
OPEN YOUR EYES!

    General Comment:just some other things I'd like to get cleared up: We're really not carnivores. Our intestine is far too long for a carnivore. carnivoral intestines are rather short since if not the meat inside would rot. ours is so long to digest and decompose the grains and similar stuff. well, what else... our teeth have nothing to do with eating meat! what about eating an apple? horses for example have a similar set of tooth. and the proteins - proteins contained in soy are much more healthy. it's like with all things: If you can have them vegetable, they'll be better for you than from an animal. Eating animals makes us sick, it's certainly much more dangerous than just smoking. it is proved that certain kinds of cancer are acquired far more often when eating meat. being vegetarian doesn't mean to sicken. I don't mind healthy products which means I mostly eat pizza and sweets and other stuff like that, but when my blood was tested there were no deficiency symptoms. I can just say that its great not eating animals and everyone who thinks about becoming vegetarian shouldn't be afraid but give it a try.

    General Comment:well when I read comments such as the one from staleph1sh I get really angry. we don't have the fuckin right to eat animals! who gave you this right? I'm vegetarian for about 4 years now and I feel damn good about , knowing that there are no innocent animals being killed and tortured for my delight. and I feel really good about the fact that I'm not to blame for all the pain and the fear that those animals feel before they're slaughtered. And I certainly don't think that anyone has the fucking right to be some kind of proud of his meat consuming and like stale being arrogant about it. besides, the point with the food chain is really not a good one. yeah, animals eat other animals, but those are carnivores and we as human beings aren't. they don't have a choice, but we have the possibilities to choose between a huge amount of non-animal products and food. another point is that we're more intelligent and we have the ability to feel empathy. I really hate people like stale who truly think that they're god and unfailing. and just because meat is tasty don't mean you'll have to eat it. And I think a person taste is nothing against the cruelty and disease that animals have experienced before they were made your burger.

    General Comment:Well, first off, this song doesn't at all conform to the fact that you all think it's about eating meat. It's obviously not about that, infact if you think that, you're probably a vegan or a vegan told you. Let's put it this way

    "Open your mind
    To the clever disguise
    That the advertisements say"

    has nothing to do with animals. The song is obviously about how companies advertise to attract us make us want to buy their products, he wants us to look past this by us opening our eyes and waking up.

    "A shot to the head
    They're better off dead "

    I can see how this line is misleading people/lions that eat celery. It could be about killing animals, but it most likely isn't. I believe it's about someone giving something a shot by thinking up an idea, but it totally fails and then they think they're better off dead because what they did, didn't conform to the world's view.

    "And how do they know
    What's good for you?"

    again with the following of advertisement, how does the company know what's good for you.

    I'd anyalize the whole song now, but I have to take a shower.
