Beef, what a relief   When will this poisonous product cease?    This is another public service announcement   You can believe it, or you can doubt it   Let us begin now with the cow   The way it gets to your plate and how   The cow doesn't grow fast enough for man   So through his greed he makes a faster plan   He has drugs to make the cow grow quicker   Through the stress the cow gets sicker   Twenty-one different drugs are pumped   Into the cow in one big lump   So just before it dies, it cries   In the slaughterhouse full of germs and flies   Off with the head, they pack it, drain it, and cart it   And there it is, in your local supermarket   Red and bloody, a corpse, neatly packed   And you wonder about heart attacks?    Come on now man let's be for real   You are what you eat is the way I feel   But, the food and drug administration   Will tell you meat is the perfect combination   See cows live under fear and stress   Trying to think what's gonna happen next   Fear and stress can become a part of you   In your cells and blood, this is true   So when the cow is killed, believe it   You preserve those cells, you freeze it   Thaw it out with the blood and season it   Then you sit down and begin eatin it   In your body, it's structure becomes your structure   All the fear and stress of another   Any drug is addictive by any name   Even drugs in meat, they are the same   The fda has america strung out   On drugs in beef no doubt   So if you think that what I say is a bunch of crock   Tell yourself you're gonna try and stop   Eatin meat and you'll see you can't compete   It's the number one drug on the street   Not crack, cause that was made for just black   But brown beef, for all american teeth   Life brings life and death brings death   Keep on eatin the dead and what's left   Absolute disease and negative   Read the book 'how to eat to live'   By elijah muhammad, it's a brown paperback   For anybody, either white or black   See how many cows must be pumped up fatter   How many rats gotta fall in the batter   How many chickens that eat shit you eat   How much high blood pressure you get from pig feet   See you'll consume, the fda could care less   They'll sell you donkey meat and say it's   Fresh! for nineteen-ninety, you suckers
