Alex Kahn - ...For What?

Every day I see you walking
Down the street with your human
Fetching the ball
Portraits in the mall
And gourmet treats made of salmon

But here I am laying in filth
Waiting my turn to be slaughtered
They call it humane
You get it a cute name
They murder me and my daughters

For what
For what
Hot dogs by the beach
For what
For what
Cancer and heart disease
I hope that they're worth more than me

The cow goes moo
And they kill them too
The chicks get thrown in the grinder
Could they be this mean
All for protein
I wish they felt this way about fiber

Has broccoli gone out of style
In the grocery aisle
Ironic it's true
It's killing them too
But they're really good at denial

For what
For what
Stinky pink lagoons
For what
For what
Tsunamis and monsoons
I hope they figure out it soon

There's really no difference between us at all
I can solve puzzles
And you can come with you're called
You go woof and I go oink
But I think that's really beside the point
A life is a life no matter it's form
From the dumbest human
To the smartest worm

For what
For what
For what
For what
