Hormon Mob
Agathocles Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Toxic meat - for you to eat
Hormones pushed - for greedy lust
Van Noppen did - fight this shit
Now he's dead - a bullet in his head
Stop the hormone mob
Killing for profit is their job
Chemical dish - is that what you wish ?
Steak and beef - from a mutant breed

For sick profit - you get sick meat
That's the mob - that's their job

Stop the hormone mob
Killing for profit is their job

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Agathocles's song Hormon Mob highlight the issue of the use of hormones in the meat industry. The first two lines suggest that the meat is toxic and hormones are being pushed onto the animals for the sake of greed. The lyrics then mention a person named Van Noppen who fought against this issue but was ultimately killed with a bullet to the head. The song concludes with the repeated chant “Stop the hormone mob, killing for profit is their job”.

The message of the song is clear: the use of hormones in the meat industry is not only dangerous to the consumer but also unethical. The lyrics are a call to action for listeners to recognize the issue and speak out against it. The reference to Van Noppen being killed for his efforts emphasizes the seriousness of the problem and the need for action.
