lyrics

There's sauce upon the table
It's red, with meat inside
I think of how for me to eat this
Somethin' had to die
But I've made my bed and I'll lie in it
Or just lay in bed and try
To think of reasons why
I'm not a vegan

There's a box of old clothing and shoes I'll never wear
I just can't seem to let them go
If I need 'em I know they're there
Those shirts that band made
Those socks are handmade
And someone sewed those shoes
For 60 cents or less
I must confess
I really cannot lie
About all the reasons I
Don't need new clothing

There's a pile of empty water bottles in my car
I've got a few reusables but I don't know where they are
I do my best to reduce and reuse but I falter there
And it's not cause I don't care
I'm working on it

But I'd never steal fresh water to save some money
Knowing it could hurt living things
I'd never force children into labor
Mining coal for diamond rings
I'd never tell somebody what to do with their body
Or judge them for their choices
Separate people from their families
Silencing their voices
I'd never kill an innocent person who
Lives a life I know nothing about
Unless I was a cop or a corporation
Then I'd probably figure something out

I hate to be a bummer
To be negative, or curse
Hey I might not be perfect but
At least I'm not the worst
Hey I made my bed and I lied in it
I got out of bed and tried
Here's all the reasons why
I'm making changes
