My Blood is Also Red (A Vegetarian Song)

Описание: Some people may not agree with this (I know many do not like their beliefs to be questioned), But it's something I believe in strongly.

A song I co-wrote. The idea was to try to depict the point of view of a cow, with no escape, and bound for slaughter.

The pictures might not exactly portray actual beef-cattle-life in the US. Most cows for food-consumption are raised on large overcrowded feed lots. But I thought the cute pastoral cows were more appealing to the eye.

His (C)eyes were (E)filled with (Am)fear
He (F)knew he (G)could not es(C)cape
Sur(C)rounded (G)by his (Am)peers
(F)They all (G)knew their (C)fate

His (C)mind was (E)full of (Am)anger
The (F)day he was (G)taken from his (C)mother
(C)Never (G)saw her a(Am)gain
(F)She had no (G)voice to de(C)fend

(No Chord)He said
(C)Why (G)are they so (Am)blind
(F)Cant they (G)see, I (C)also (G)have a (Am)mind
My (F)blood is (G)red just like (C)theirs

(C)He knew there (E)was a(Am)nother way
But (F)now it was (G)his day for (C)slay
(C)Down (G)on all (Am)fours
(F)Paralyzed by the (G)now crimson (C)floor

His (C)heart (E)stopped (Am)beating
(F)He was (G)one of many (C)bleeding
(C)Could not (G)compre(Am)hend
He said
(F)No this (G)cant be the (C)end

(C)Why (G)are they so (Am)blind
(F)Cant they (G)see I (C)also (G)have a (Am)mind
My (F)blood is (G)red just like (C)yours.
