I Don't Eat Animals Lyrics

I was just thinking 'bout the way it's s'posed to be
I'll eat the plants and the fruit from the trees
And I'll live on vegetables and I'll grow on seeds
But I don't eat animals and they don't eat me
Oh no, I don't eat animals, cause I love 'em, you see
I don't eat animals; I want nothing dead in me

I don't eat white flower, white sugar makes you rot
Oh, white could be beautiful, but mostly it's not
A little bit of whole meal, some raisins and cheese
But I don't eat animals, and they don't eat me
Oh no, I don't eat animals, cause I love 'em, you see
I don't eat animals; I want nothing dead in me

A little bit of whole meal, some raisins and cheese
I'll eat the plants and the fruit from the trees
And I'll live on vegetables, and I'll grow on seeds
But I won't eat animals, and they won't eat me
Oh no, I'll live on life, I want nothing dead in me
You know, I'll become life, and my life will become me
You know, I'll live on life, and my life will live on me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think I found a new anthem for myself haha. I like this song even though it's kinda cheesy (pun intended). I don't eat aminals either, good song.
