Sean Kinney admits in an interview that this song is about veal. Although, xstatic's quote comes from the same interview where Stayley claims to have been stoned when he wrote the lyrics. Actually, except for replacing the word "calf" with "man," the words are quite literally true to the treatment of baby cows and how veal is produced. Calves are chained to their stalls to keep their meat nice and tender and then are deprived of iron to keep the meat looking sparkley white. They end up drinking their own urine. Look into it...you'll most likely never eat veal again.
