Lyrics: Please Don't Eat Us

Since the moment that you landed on the planet
You've been appalled to hear your habits called barbaric
You might think that that's what we're for
But we regard ourselves as more
Than simply freshly picked free range and organic

To put it simply we would rather
Be in your heart than in your larder

Please don't eat us, we want to be your friends
Not your ingredients

So before you munch your lunch kindly consider
Your dinner could be someone else's little sister
And if you say "But she was yum"
While later talking to her Mum
Don't be surprised if her reply is somewhat bitter

You might think she's being rude
But she is not on the menu

Please don't eat us, we want to be your friends
Not your ingredients

Please don't eat us please
Let's all live in peace
We are not your tea
Please don't eat us please

Please don't masticate my mother
Please don't dine upon my Dad
And please do not slice up my brother
When you fancy a kebab

Take the lead from our example
Take a leaf out of our book
You might like eating other species
Human beings never would

What's that? Oh well, that's different
No, you can't look in the kitchen

Just don't eat us, we want to be your friends
Not your ingredients

Please don't eat us please
Let's all live in peace
We are not your tea
Please don't eat us please
