i eat no animals
i eat no animals 'cause they are my friends
can't you imagine that they are a soul like you
do you wanna be treated like them
do you wanna be killed like them
do you wanna be eaten like them
don't you see that they need our care?
people, talk 'bout wars in foreign countries
haven't we all fear of crime?
but aren't we in great illusion
if we think that we 're alright?
what is right, what is wrong don't you know what we have done?
what is right, what is wrong, do we have a heart of stone?
what is right, what is wrong don't we know what's going on?
people are shocked by news on television
read 'bout murder every day
but daily we enjoy our junkfood
and stuff cadavers into our mouths
what is right, what is wrong...
people have got a nice dog and a lovely cat
so they show their golden heart
but if the same one goes for shopping
his (her) personality will split
what is right what is wrong...
so give up eating animals, they can be your friends
and you begin to see they are a soul like you
they can also be happy like you
they can also be sad like you
able to feel pain like you
don't you see that they need our care?
so have you ever seen a cow in freedom and peace?
have you ever felt the good vibrations of her?
have you ever thought about how generous she is
in india they even say mother to her
govinda* jaya jaya govinda...
we don't know where we all come from
we don't know what's our goal
that's why we should take the chance now
respect the wishes of our soul
what is right what is wrong...
*Krishna als Beschützer der Kühe (Krishna as protector of the cows)
words and music by Gandharvika
It's up to you
brother it's up to you
what you're gonna do
sister it's up to you...
if you wanna free your live
if you wanna free your soul
if you wanna have some more
try the water leave the shore
brother it's up to you...
Jesus was a real great man
begin to praise him if you can
Jesus Christ, oh Jesus Christ
help me out from lust and pride
Chaitanya* brought a simple way
it gives you strength for every day
so have no fear and leave the doubt
sing with love and do it loud
Buddha showed what we should eat
fruits and greens, but shun the meat
'cause animals have also right
to live and see the sunshine bright
brother it's up to you...
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
