I am a vegetarian and Joe is not. Which is why I think it's hilarious Joe wrote a pro-Vegetarian song. Trevor and Joe collaborated on the vocals which I think came out really nicely. I also really enjoy the contrasting lyrics in this song mixing everyday circumstances and gory imagery.
lyrics
Mother Jones for
all our new poor
Take the trash out once a week
And cover up the hide we seek
Wash the car, and mow the lawn
Spare the calf, and kill the fawn
Wash the clothes and hang them dry
Shut the cage and close your eyes
Watch some baseball have some pie
Pluck the feathers, chop the thighs
(This is my body, this is my blood)
Your muscles ready time to feed
(You’re life was given up my god)
Here’s a bucket for when you bleed
Take the kids to sports and dance
Here’s the hormones and the corn
Put on your Sunday football pants
Doomed before the egg was born
Bake new cookies in the jar
We package limbs and bits and parts
Kiss your wife and start the car
Do you know who the bodies are
(This is my body, this is my blood)
Your muscles ready time to feed
(You’re life was given up my god)
Here’s a bucket for when you bleed
