about

Song Written & Music Produced by Fitztharezista

Recorded & Produced by Kevin Fraser (aka: Livestalk - livestalk.bandcamp.com)

Recorded in Hamilton, Ontario in January of 2012

This song was inspired by the documentary "the World According to Monsanto," which is about a corporation called "Monstanto," a multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation. The documentary details a short history of Monsanto, and some of its more recent exploits, including the development of a variety of chemicals used in raising livestock.

Another inspiration for this track is the song "Beef" by Boogie Down Productions (KRS-One) from their 1990 album "Edutainment.

lyrics

POISON MILK

Extracting lactations from all Earth’s creations
Raising a grazing species whose feces raises beans
Manipulating the naturally self-generating genes
The treatment of animals is just obscene

In a scene where we need food that is poison free
Animals get locked up and fed poison feed
Injections of antibiotics toxins are a treat
The process of processing meat mystifies me

The people need food, the people need to eat
But there’s too much poison going into the meat
There’s too much poison, it occurs regularly
Rampant obesity and cancers can’t decrease

It’s a drug-addled concoct of livestock, tops
The shopping lists full of ham hawks and pork chops
The poisons in the meat, but this ain’t where it stops
It’s in the cheese too, the milk is poison, pops

POISON MILK, POISON MILK, POISON MILK
THE MILK IS…
POISON MILK, POISON MILK, POISON MILK
THE MILK IS…
POISON MILK, POISON MILK, POISON MILK
THE MILK IS…
POISON MILK, POISON MILK, POISON MILK
THE MILK IS…

Poison, but it doesn’t need to be this way
The animals in capitalism treated with distain
It’s a manifestation of a capitalist greed
Money’s the reason beef’s on your plate, human feed

The bankers in charge, they’re powers stretch far
Their manipulating, making, shaping a nation so large
They’re feeding us shit, but now’s the time to quit
We can develop a food system a little more legitimate

They cage these poor creatures, and turn them into food
They cause them lots of stress, and they pass stress onto you
Cause in the pen at night, the animals know what’s coming
They’re sent on through the slaughterhouse and in to your oven

It’s time to find alternatives to the milk and the meat
Share some information and spread it through the streets
There’s poison in the meat, and we need some help
They’re poisoning the animals and you’re poisoning yourself

POISON MILK, POISON MILK, POISON MILK
THE MILK IS…
POISON MILK, POISON MILK, POISON MILK
THE MILK IS…
POISON MILK, POISON MILK, POISON MILK
THE MILK IS…
POISON MILK, POISON MILK, POISON MILK
THE MILK IS…

Be aware of what you eat
And what you put into your body
Your body should be your temple
SO TREAT IT RIGHT.
