Background to Malfunction

Man created greed

A choice of who to feed

A choice to live or die

A choice to smile or cry

A love to give to all

To make, to beg or crawl

A life there and the plans

A pass to say what was

Inventions like the bomb

A device to stop what's wrong

A chance to create a life

Similar to the last

Road to follow straight

Animal to fill the plate

Death, that is so sad

Rituals that are not mad

Like eating what is dead

I thought that made man sad

Obviously not the same

Breed animals to be tame

So man can show the fists

Cause only man exists

Lion eats a man

Man invades its land

Man prods it with a gun

Always proving man has won

Oh, lion eats all but shoes

Big business in the news

Shocks, horrors, families eating

Stuffing all the bleeding meat in

"What a savage, it ate a man"

"I won't feed the lions in the zoo again"

"This steak is a lovely piece of meat"

"I fancy a bit of rabbit next week"

"Come on Thomas, eat it up"

"Sometimes I don't think that you were worth the fuck"
