"Eat Me (Before You Eat Meat)"
Verse 1
say peace and love, but then pick up a knife
Talkin’ about mercy while takin a life
Preachin’ 'bout the path, but turning blind eyes
If it’s got four legs, well it’s served with fries
They say we’re born to be free, they say we’re born to be kind.
But you close off your heart and and close off your mind.
Take a bite out of me if you dare to believe.
Before tearing at flesh can you just breathe...
Chorus
Eat me before you eat meat, come and take a bite and eat.
you want something sacred, then swallow what’s right.
If it’s just about hunger,
then I’m yours for the feast
Eat me &
if you dare, call it peace
Verse 2
Look in the mirror—what’s the truth on your plate?
If Buddha walked by, would he sit there and wait?
If mercy’s the mission, then practice what’s true
Before we tear up the world for some barbecue
We say we’re the chosen, but we’re choosing pain
We Say we’re the stewards, but what’s left to reign?
If life’s the religion, then lets make amends.
Before our blessings are blood on our hands once again
Chorus
Bridge
Oh, would you bite the hand that reaches for your soul?
Can you stomach the story that you’ve been sold?
Can you break bread without breaking bones
Or do we all pay the price for the comforts we own?
Verse 3
I’m standing here waiting, yeah, here’s my plea
If you preach about heaven, then practice on me
If all life is precious, if all souls are whole
Then eat me before you feed off the lies you’ve been told
Chorus
Outro
Yeah, I’m calling you out, I’m laying it bare
If you’re looking for truth, better start with a prayer
But if peace is the price of another’s defeat
Then eat me before you eat meat.
