Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something about it makes me feel so fine
Like being condescending all the time
Give me a soapbox
And I'll speak my mind
Being vegan feels so good
Yeah
I got a lunchbox full of vegan food
The cafeteria's where I get rude

I'll school you on the facts
With attitude
Being vegan feels so good
Yeah
Being vegan feels so good
Being vegan feels so good
They all tried to stop me
But nobody could
Being vegan feels so good
Yeah
Being vegan feels so good
Being vegan feels so good
Tried to convert them
But nobody would

And we're still alive
But you fade away
