WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? THE PRICE WE PAY FOR VEGAN CONVENIENCE LYRICS

 
Our restaurants of choice

often owned by cults

whose rhetoric may not oppress animals

but may oppress the minds of humans

the film we use

to document our endeavors

is produced from gelatin

from the animals we try to save

the records we prize

derived from petroleum which wars

are waged for and the earth is raped

and indigenous peoples land stolen

the food we eat

produced by the multinationals

who produce the same toxins

and pesticides we rally against

corn and soy markets cornered

TVP and boxed soymilk marketed

at a price few can afford

health becomes a luxury

I would like to think

our actions are fueled

by consciousness

not righteousness

trying to recognize

the problems

and rectify

them

trying to create change

rearrange the stakes

instead of participating

in a losing game
