Whichever Way You Want It
Conflict Lyrics

There's a place that's neatly tucked away beyond the other side
There is a hidden location situated far from the reach of the general public

A place in which you'd never dream there would be a need to hide
It is somewhere that seems so innocuous that it would not require any secrecy

For the building is surrounded by pastures pure and green
The exterior of the building is covered by fields that create an image of idyllic surroundings

The Image hides reality, and the distance kills the scream
However, this outwardly appearance only serves to conceal the true nature of what goes on inside, and the public remains oblivious to the pain and suffering within

That comes from inside is never exposed to be fair, for the place is packed
The screams of animals being tortured and killed are never heard outside of the laboratory, and the facility is always overcrowded with test subjects

With scientists who show how much they care
Despite their claims to 'care' for the research subjects, the scientists within continue to conduct their experiments, ignoring the pain and suffering inflicted upon the animals

The guard stands bravely at the gates, guard dog by his side
The entrance to the facility is guarded by both a human guard and a loyal dog

The same breed of animal is butchered inside
Ironically, the same breed of dog guarding the entrance is also one of the species being tested on and killed within the facility

What a fucking waste of money, what a fucking waste of time
This entire operation is a meaningless and senseless expenditure of resources

What a waste of human knowledge, what a fucking way to die
The knowledge acquired through these experiments is insignificant compared to the lives lost and the pain inflicted

Human freedom, animal rights, it's one struggle, one fight
The fight for animal rights is connected to the broader struggle for human rights and freedom

There ain't no fucking truth in the Inspector's files
The reports provided by the authorities overseeing these experiments are filled with lies and distortions of the truth

As he walks down the death corridors, he covers his sighs with smiles
Even the Inspector tasked with ensuring the welfare of the animals cannot help but hide his emotions and acquiesce to the atrocities he bears witness to

He sees the pain and agony but remembering his position
The Inspector is aware of the pain and suffering endured by the animals, but feels powerless to stop it due to his job title and fear of consequences

He's got his place, another face, but he just ain't paid to question
The Inspector's job forces him to remain complicit and refrain from questioning the morality of the experiments he witnesses

He thinks it's rather funny that he's earning loads of money
The Inspector is aware of the hypocrisy that his job entails and finds some dark amusement in profiting from the suffering of animals

His eyes are forced aside as out comes another trolley
The Inspector cannot even bear to look as another cart full of animal corpses is wheeled past him

Another tray of corpses, more unlabeled, more unmentioned
Each animal that is killed is just another anonymous statistic that will never be mentioned or mourned

It's no good asking why? Why? because they never fucking listen, so liberate animal testing to detect thalidomide
There is no point in trying to reason with those who conduct these experiments, so the only solution is to end all animal testing, even if some argue it was necessary to detect the dangers of thalidomide

Torturing, killing, but there's loads more things to try
Although thalidomide was a well-known example of the dangers of animal testing, it is just one of many experiments that involve cruelty and death

The suffering, the pain, that excruciating pain, it all goes over and over again
The animals are subjected to excruciating pain and suffering repeatedly, as each experiment only serves to inflict more torment

This fucking witchcraft won't solve anything, the same experiments, OVER AND OVER AGAIN
The use of animals in experiments is nothing more than an outdated form of alchemy or witchcraft, where the same pointless, barbaric experiments are conducted repeatedly without leading to any true breakthroughs or enlightenment
