Personal Problem
Were you conceived with a weak sperm?
That would explain your weak moral fabric
You know what happens of factory farms
So you can't justify your nasty habits
Use an excuse I haven't heard
Everyone struggles with changes at first
If you give up so easily
It sounds like a personal problem to me
Yeh yeh, you started to "get sick too often"
Yeh yeh, the doctor said "you're anemic"
The truth is you ate bread, chips and french fries
While you ignored proper nutrition
Use an excuse I haven't heard
It's a slight inconvenience at worst
It caused a stir in your family? (On no, god forbid!!)
It sounds like a personal problem to me
The animals called...
They told me to tell you "FUCK YOU!"
If you can't hack it as a vegan
We'll call you out on your excuses
If you give up so easily
It sounds likes a personal problem to me
Step up
Or fuck off

Better Than You
We're vegan
We're better than you
We're vegan
You can eat our shit
Go vegan
Or just accept: we'll always be
Better than you
To new levels of moral righteousness
We are ascending
You can't fuck with this
Powered by plants, we are gaining strength
Putting an end to your ignorance
Fuck you, you hippie
Fuck you, you locavore
Fuck you, you poseur environmentalists
Fuck all your peace signs
Fuck your excuses
Fuck you, you're all full of shit
We're vegan, we walk the walk!
To new levels of moral righteousness
We are ascending
You can't fuck with this
Powered by plants, we are gaining strength
Putting an end to your ignorance
We're vegan, we're better than you

Veganocracy
​
I have a dream that all shall be judged
By the merit of their deeds
Those of compassion will be enshrined
The cruel regarded as weak
No tolerance for those who insist
What they eat is their choice
Culture must shift to a new paradigm
Let the ethic cleansing begin!
Our way shall be the new way
And our laws will be enforced
There will be no escape
Make no mistake–
Assimilate or be crushed
Rule
With an iron fist
Ruthless
Veganocracy
Shut the fuck up about your rights
You ignored the voiceless too long
Your false sense of entitlement
To the lives of others
Is a debt you've been accruing
Now it's time for you to pay
We are karma, we are the law
Vegan Power in your fucking face!
Our way shall be the new way
And our laws will be enforced
There will be no escape
Make no mistake–
Assimilate or be crushed

The Matriarch
​
In darkness she paces, shackled and alone
She dreams of her family and open lands to roam
Her body is weak, her spirit is broken
She dreads the wrath of men with bullhooks
She suffers the beatings and food deprivation
She keeps performing because she has no choice
For now she obeys, for now she conforms
But she never forgets what has been done
Time for elephant revenge
Watch her revolt and stomp their faces in
Time for elephant freedom
She will be free or be avenged
Now here they come, cars full of dipshits
Clueless old men with grandchildren
They see the signs as they enter the lot:
"Boycott the circus" / "Ringling is cruel"
Ignorance is bliss, don't question tradition
Take your fucking seats and eat your popcorn
It's just entertainment, and nothing more
She won't forgive what has been done
Time for elephant revenge
Watch her revolt and stomp their faces in
Time for elephant freedom
She will be free or be avenged
Prepare for the wrath of the matriarch
Your three-ring circus of inbred pedophiles and juggalos won't stand a chance!

The Guy with Bitch Tits
​
"Eating soy increases estrogen"
Says the guy, the guy with bitch tits
"But eating steak makes you a man"
Says the guy, the guy bitch tits
His breasts sag like your grandma's
But he's a masculine authority
The one thing he's the king of
Is irony
"Vegans have low testosterone"
Says the guy, the guy with bitch tits
"Where do you get your protein from?"
Says the guy, the guy with bitch tits
An apparent expert on nutrition
Even though he's fuckin' obese
"We were meant to be carnivores,
Look at our teeth...."
Don't be the guy, the guy with bitch tits
Don't be the guy, the guy with bitch tits
Don't be the guy, the guy with bitch tits
Don't be that guy!
Pre-diabetic and impotent
He's the guy, the guy with bitch tits
He's due in for an artery stent
He's the guy, the guy with bitch tits
Nevermind that he's got a F.U.P.A.
When he calls you a "fucking pussy"
The one thing he's the king of
Is irony
Don't be that guy

The World Will See
​
The moral baseline is quite simple
Each deserves to be left alone
But the violence you commit
In the name of profits
Trumps your right to privacy
It trumps your right to make money
If you've got to rape and kill
To make a living, then you can bet...
We will infiltrate
We will expose your every move
We will document
And the world will see what you do
Proposed legislation and lobbying
Cannot stop the tide of the truth
The dedicated will infiltrate
And dismantle you
Slander us all you want
Waste millions on petty laws
In time they will be overturned
You can bet the public will learn...
We will infiltrate
We will expose your every move
We will document
And the world will see you for you
This tragic dance between industry and decency
For the right to know the truth
So many lives wasted
Wasted money and wasted time
This one's for the whistleblowers and investigators
Filming abuse is not a crime

Sentimentalists (bonus track)
He says he loves animals
But still he eats their flesh
He can't imagine life without bacon
Nor can he comprehend
The hell from which it came
It's a truth he won't accept
I learned the facts, now I abstain
But he calls me "sentimental"
Is it reason or convenience
which informs the way you live?
Is your preference a mere product of your privilege?
Is it logic or emotion
which informs the way you think?
How about some consistency
You tender, little thing
She says she's a feminist
But she consumes products of rape
She can't imagine life without cheese
But she won't concede
That mothers trapped on the farm
Are penetrated against their will
Impregnated, exploited
So she can have their milk
Is it fairness or self-interest
which informs the way you live?
Is your preference a mere product of your privilege?
Is it ethics or indulgence
which informs the way you think?
How about some consistency
You precious, fragile thing
