Death by Burning Cheese
If I wanted my baby
to grow big and strong
I'd feed her cow's milk
packed with protein
and full of hormones
designed to grow adults
in two short years
If I wanted the Earth
to burn quicker
I'd ignore the carrots
and raise more cows
to fire my methane gun
If I wanted to try and hoodwink
eight billion people
I'd tell them:
Don't worry
it's only a blip on the sun
That's what I'd do
if I wanted to
get rich
to grow big and strong
I'd feed her cow's milk
packed with protein
and full of hormones
designed to grow adults
in two short years
If I wanted the Earth
to burn quicker
I'd ignore the carrots
and raise more cows
to fire my methane gun
If I wanted to try and hoodwink
eight billion people
I'd tell them:
Don't worry
it's only a blip on the sun
That's what I'd do
if I wanted to
get rich

I rather think in this case it's at the expense of the planet, although climate deniers will tell you otherwise.
