[Verse 1]
Man's best friend is beautiful
Affectionate, an ideal pet
Cats are the same, we make up their names
And our love for them is real

[Chorus]
Listen up, I gotta ask you, how can we be so cruel?
You say you care, that's a lie
My true compassion is for all living things
And not just the ones who are cute so I do what i can
I wanna save lives and I've got a plan

[Verse 2]
Under the table he'll eat your dinner
Like the veggies we can't stand
What kind of meal would he make?
We don't want to ask it, tradition is all that keeps him alive

[Chorus]
Listen up, I gotta ask you, how can we be so cruel?
You say you care, that's a lie
My true compassion is for all living things
And not just the ones who are cute so I do what i can
I wanna save lives and I've got a plan
[Outro]
Why am I so upset?
Don't even own a pet
I'm not trying to press my will
I'm not the first to say thou shalt not kill
Full is all you want to feel
We eat to stay alive, but it's their lives we steal
I think we'd like to change, but most of us are stuck
That's why cats and dogs have all the luck
