Gorilla Biscuits - Cats and Dogs (Lyrics & Video)

'Cats and Dogs' is the last song from Gorilla Biscuits' classic 1989 album 'Start Today'. This song is a hymn for animal rights and vegetarianism. Along with Youth of Today's song 'No More', they are some of the first and most inspirational songs which brought veg(etari)anism in hardcore music.

Pets should not be the only animals who are treated fairly by us humans. Read the lyrics and listen to the song and you'll understand why.
----------------------------------------
Το τραγούδι 'Cats and Dogs' από το κλασικό δίσκο των Gorilla Biscuits 'Start Today' είναι ένας ύμνος για τα δικαιώματα των ζώων και τη χορτοφαγία. Μαζί με το τραγούδι 'No More' των (θεών) Youth of Today είναι από τα πρώτα και πιο εμπνευστικά τραγούδια για τη χορτοφαγία και - γιατί όχι - το βιγκανισμό στη hardcore μουσική.

Τα κατοικίδια δεν είναι τα μόνα ζώα που πρέπει να χαίρουν της καλής μεταχείρισής μας. Διαβάστε τους στίχους, ακούστε το τραγούδι και θα καταλάβετε το γιατί.



Man's best friend is a beautiful and affectionate an ideal pet.
Cats are the same, we make up their names
and our love for them is real.
Listen up, I gotta ask it, how can we be so cruel?
You say you care, that's a lie.
My true compassion is for all living things
and not just the ones who are cute so I do what I can.
I wanna save lives and I've got a plan.

Under the table he'll eat your dinner like the veggies we can't stand.
What kind meal would he make? We don't want to ask it.
Tradition is all that keeps him alive.
Listen up, I gotta ask it, how can we be so cruel?
You say you care, that's a lie.
My true compassion is for all living things
and not just the ones who are cute so I do what I can.
I wanna save lives and I've got a plan.

Why am I so upset. Don't even own a pet.
I am not trying to press my will.
I am not the first to say...THOU SHALT NOT KILL

Full is all we want to feel.
We eat to stay alive, but it's their lives we steal.
I think we'd like to change, but most of us are stuck,
that's why cats and dogs have ALL THE LUCK.
