@[right:36439]-in-two this came on the radio the other night and i thought the same thing. Im close to 100% sure that the song was not written with animals in mind as the state of factory farming simply wasnt known then. But the lyrics struck me the same way. Obviously by refusing to eat the powerless you are on strike. I agree with the rest of your interpretations, except the ‘slaves are working’ part. To me, that is the shit icing on the shit cake of factory farming - the poorest of the poor, illegal immigrants, people who dont have another option make up much of the staff in there. It wraps up the whole system - greed at the very top, greed and softness and obesity in the consumers, terrorized victims and traumatized workers - even if it wasnt written that way on purpose. |
