Like soft fruit, we're boxed up
We're banged up and lidded
We're stacked away, packed away
Pre-taxed and gridded
Apartmented, motorised
Mortgaged and kiddied
Each income computed
And suitably quidded
Then citified, pitiful
Puddled and giddied
We're herded on waggons
And wheelied and skidded
We're animals, we're the common herd
We're the cannibals of the western world
We're animals, we're the common herd
We're the cannibals of the western world
We're animals, we're the common herd
We're the cannibals of the western world
Cannibals of the western world
Cannibals of the western world
Of the western world
We're bundled to market
And monied and bidded
And cutted and gutted
And bloodied and ridded
And sliced up and eaten
And each of us did it
We're animals, we're the common herd
We're cannibals of the western world
We're animals, we're the common herd
We're cannibals of the western world
We're animals, we're the common herd
We're cannibals of the western world
Cannibals of the western world
Cannibals of the western world
Cannibals
Of the West
We're those feeding. We're their food
Hear us chomping. We're the chewed
We're the diners. Eat us, dude
We're the starving. We're the stewed
Farmed and fattened, caged and zooed
Roasted, toasted, boiled, baked, brewed
We're the flesh that's much valued
Hunters hunted. Prey pursued
We're the mincemeat. We're menu'd
We're the mass, the multitude
We're the flock, the breed, the brood
We're here to be barbecued
We're animals, we're the common herd
We're the cannibals of the western world
We're animals, we're the common herd
We're the cannibals of the western world
We're animals, we're the common herd
We're the cannibals of the western world
Cannibals of the western world
Cannibals of the western world
Cannibals of the western world
Cannibals of the western world
Cannibals of the western
World
