Breakfast of Champions - Lyrics
Eat your wheaties, not your meaties
Eat your wheaties, not your meaties
See that cow lying on the ground?
She’s been raped and her babies can’t be found
Eat your wheaties, not your meaties
Peace and justice have no species
Eat your wheaties, not your meaties
Love and family have no species
Meat is disgusting and dairy is evil
If you don’t believe it then you’re easy to deceive
Eat your wheaties, not your meaties
"Do unto others" has no species
Eat your wheaties, not your meaties
Our feminism has no species
{It was as though the country were saying to its citizens ‘In Nonsense Is Strength.’ But some of the nonsense was evil, since it concealed great crimes. Nobody could believe, until it was much too late, how heartless and greedy they were. The projectiles cut through meat and bone very easily.}
Who the hell eats a baby lamb?
You sick motherfucker
Who on Earth boils a living lobster?
A sad-ass sucker
Eat your wheaties, not your meaties
The fight for justice has no species
Eat your wheaties, not your meaties
The right to autonomy has no species
{Their childhoods were over. They were dying now. The created chemicals in their own bodies which were bad for their heads. There were thousands upon thousands who bought bad chemicals and ate them, or sniffed them, or injected them. They actually built factories whose only purpose was to kill by the millions. Business velocity, slow to detect insanity. He supposed that the heart-rending cries had fled into outer space. He was mistaken.}*
