Lyrics You Are Not Collateral Damage - Strike Anywhere

You Are Not Collateral Damage

Our lives are not expendable
No murdering meals are starving the bloodstream
I am still accountable
For all of my footsteps scarring the green yeah
A silent cry planet wide
Are all our cousins happy to die?
Traditions and appetites
Are no good reason why
We are all animals
So we suffer in kind
All our customs leave
Our consciousness behind
All this balance interrupted
And I won’t consume you
If you breathe what I do
And bleed in red too
We paint a picture of human 'nature'
This distance that we buy
Vivisected then collected
You didn’t have to die
This Species War it is Class War
Poverty diet cancer increases
In the freezers at the back of the store
We only look at lives lived in pieces
We are all animals
So we suffer in kind
All our customs leave
Our consciousness behind
All this balance interrupted
And I won’t consume you
If you breathe what I do
And bleed in red too
Live free
We are all animals
So we suffer in kind
All our customs leave
Our consciousness behind
All this balance interrupted
And I won’t consume you
If you breathe what I do
And bleed in red too
Did they smile through their teeth
When they told you you deserved this?
Professional men speaking from the side of their mouths
Letting you battle with this isolation
Give me strength to witness, strength to witness
Death is big business
Not for you and I
Our death is not collateral
Collateral
Collateral
Collateral
