Meat To Please You
Up Front Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In Up Front's song Meat To Please You, the lyrics describe the singer's disdain for the consumption of meat and the actions humans take to attain it. The opening lines reveal the indifference toward the consequences of one's actions, as the blood spilled and lives taken are detached from the individual eating the meal. The singer notes that the decision to consume meat involves killing, robbing, and taking away. The fact that other humans commit these violent acts to acquire animal flesh is viewed as incomprehensible and lacking in intelligence.
The final lines of the song suggest that the individuals who consume meat are not actually satisfied by the products of violence and death. The singer believes that those who consume meat would not want to "be meat to please you," indicating that if they were in the same position as the animals, they would not want to be slaughtered and consumed. Overall, the song's lyrics express a deep moral opposition to the consumption of meat, pointing out the violence and unethical behavior that it involves.

You don't seem to care about the consequences of your actions
it's not your blood that's going to spill
You won't be the one hurt by the violence you cause
it's not your life that's going to end
You won't be the one dying as a result of this
at least you'll get a good meal tonight
At the very least, you'll have something tasty to eat
it's killing and robbing and taking away
Your actions involve violent and unethical behavior
it's murder by some other hand
You're indirectly responsible for the murder of an animal
digest rotting flesh
You'd rather consume decaying meat
I'd rather ingest and express intelligence
You'd rather consume something that doesn't involve unethical behavior and express your intelligence through other means
it just makes no sense at all
The behavior of consuming meat for pleasure seems illogical to you
it's incomprehensible
You can't understand why someone would do this
they don't seem very pleased to me
The animals you're consuming don't appear happy or contented
and I really doubt that they'd want to be meat to please you
You don't think the animals would willingly want to be consumed for someone's pleasure
