From the album LEFTOVER WINE (1970)

I was just thinking
'Bout the way it's supposed to be
I'll eat the plants
And the fruit from the trees
And I'll live on vegetables
And I'll grow on seeds
But I don't eat animals
And they don't eat me

Oh no, I don't eat animals
'Cause I love them, you see
I don't eat animals
I want nothing dead in me

I don't eat white flour
White sugar makes you rot
Oh, white could be beautiful
But mostly it's not
A little bit of whole meal
Some raisins and cheese
But I don't eat animals
And they don't eat me

Oh no, I don't eat animals
'Cause I love them, you see
I don't eat animals
I want nothing dead in me

A little bit of whole meal
Some raisins and cheese
I'll eat the plants
And the fruit from the trees
And I'll live on vegetables
And I'll grow on seeds
But I won't eat animals
And they won't eat me
Oh no, I'll live on life
I want nothing dead in me
You know I'll become life
And my life will become me
You know I'll live on life
And my life will live on me
