Every Mouth's a Guillotine

Hyena eats the antelope
Bullfrog eats the fly
The eagle sees the rabbit run
And swoops down from the sky
Who is the loving architect
Of this digestive doom?
Seems like every mouth's a guillotine
And every gut's a tomb

The cow's ground down to burgers
The lamb's served up as roast
The tuna fish swim into nets
And then get spread on toast
Does love compel creation
Just for more flesh to consume?
Seems like every mouth's a guillotine
And every gut's a tomb

Why should our prayers move skyward
When, down here, we need to eat?
If heaven is the realm of love
Hell's hungry underneath
The tiger sees God's little girl
Come through the jungle's gloom
Seems like every mouth's a guillotine
And every gut's a tomb

Who is the loving architect
Of this digestive doom?
Seems like every mouth's a guillotine
And every gut's a tomb

(Can I get mustard on that?)
