it's terrible to realize
what human's lust can do
killing innocence for money.
who is it buying, who?
experiments on living creatures,
vocal chord is cut.
silence in the lab is fine,
and slowly our feelings rot!

bloodstained bodies, broken limbs,
seals with bursted heads.
the 'beauty lady' wears the fur,
seven little babies dead!
paralytic monkeys smoke
to test the lung's reaction:
skin peeled mice anguish the pestering
radical dissection...

free the lives condemned to pain,
go against this brutal chain!
the senseless reason for your death,
bloodmoney, lay it to rest!

shaved and naked, virus inject,
lipstick red an neat.
hairspray, i want this luxury!
animals, they bleed!
dogs with acid in their eyes,
the contact-lenses peel.
dying for a deranged mind,
exaggerated beau-ideal!

animals do feel the fear,
they too know how to cry.
born to feel the human's torture,
what's the reason why?
tell me now a cause that's worth,
a simple honest reason!
whatever you may say, i tell you:
it's just out of season!

free the lives condemned to pain,
go against this brutal chain!
the senseless reason for your death,
bloodmoney, lay it to rest!
