sick of sushi





I'm sick of sushi
yeah
seems like I've been eating fish
all my life

I'm sick of sushi
seems like I've been eating rice
all my life

sick of sushi
yes
gimme some beef
yes

for many years I pondered
the ethics of eating meat
for some of those years I decided --
no meat for me
just veggies
and maybe fish

meat sickens
it's warehoused
even chickens suffer, and turkeys
in the meat factory

beefs consume all the grain
could be feeding the
starving chilluns of India
oh yeah

but -- I'm sick of sushi
might be immoral
but -- upon reflection

gimme some beef

I sold my soul to a big-breasted girl
