about

this track will be on the upcoming release 'Crab Legs EP' w/ Banana Tapes

"Dairy is the product of the exploitation for profit of the reproductive capacities of female bodies. To consider this a feminist issue is a defensible political position. Cows share with us the basic brain architecture responsible for emotion. The idea that mother cows do not grieve when their children are removed from them, and are not grieving still as machines suck the milk from their bodies--that is cant." - Carol J. Adams, The Sexual Politics of Meat

lyrics

Sal, she sits there, wondering how she came here
Light, it moves in lines across her face
Oh, the woes of all the little ones...
Any day they're gonna take this one away
and bind her, bind her, bind her.

You wanna eat it so you bleed it out on straw
You wanna milk it till the teet gets raw
Don't get too comfortable though, before you know it we'll reach the tipping point

Sal, she grits her teeth and waits until it's over
Soon there'll be another one on the way
Oh the woes of all the little ones, gotta keep going and hope that they escape
To find them, find them, find them.

You wanna eat it so you bleed it out on straw
You wanna milk it till the teet gets raw
Don't get too comfortable though, before you know it we'll reach the tipping point

You wanna feed it and treat it till it hurts
Hold tight to fairy tales of free range birds
Don't get too comfortable though, before you know it we'll reach the tipping point.
