Karla Dickens Killer cattle

What’s at steak?
There are mumbles as the world crumbles
The Lucky Country needs dieting
Extreme weather weight-loss program forecasted

Greenhouse gas kills greener pastures ahead
Who shoulders the chunk destruction?
Herds of blind ribeye-eating cowboys
Acid rain T-bones steer an offal lot of pollution

Clearing natives off the country
This mob is as thirsty as cotton
Let’s muster up these burping meth heads
Before porterhouse drives us to the poorhouse

Land branded with barbed wire and droughts
Grass-fed carbon-intense bulls dominating degradation
Calves tagged with monstrous environmental footprints
Pumped heifers without a tenderloin for the cost to the land

Meat global reduction targets and enjoy more greens
’Cause milking the land won’t put fat on the poorest ribs
Let’s drive off deforestation by de-horning livestock costs
Get off your rump and cut the bullock

What’s at steak?
