You say meat is murder Well so is dairy I can hear their screams Calling after their young You say meat is murder Well so are eggs Male chicks aren’t meant to be bred So they’re grinded up alive It doesn’t matter if its humane Its just a label There’s no free range It’s all a lie to get you to buy into the mass murder Of the beings I’ve seen what you’re seeing Don’t buy into this lie You say meat is murder Well so is leather Wearing the skin of another being I’ve never heard of something so disgusting You say meat is murder Well so is wearing wool Don’t believe the myth we’re all Told, it’s their fur, we don’t need it It doesn’t matter if its humane Its just a label There’s no free range It’s all a lie to get you to buy into the mass murder Of the beings I’ve seen what you’re seeing Don’t buy into this lie You say meat is murder So is honey You say well it’s fine they were gassed The point is it’s supposed to be okay to be gassed You say meat is murder So is captivity Of all of these innocent beings This isn’t the way they’re spose to live It doesn’t matter if its humane Its just a label There’s no free range It’s all a lie to get you to buy into the mass murder Of the beings I’ve seen what you’re seeing Don’t buy into this lie 2 billion heart beats stop 2 billion dreams are forgot 2 billion animals murdered every week for a 20 minute meal It doesn’t matter if its humane Its just a label There’s no free range It’s all a lie to get you to buy into the mass murder Of the beings I’ve seen what you’re seeing Don’t buy into this lie

Dont tell me not to be angry My emotions are valid Dont tell me to sit their quietly My voice should be heard, even if this world aint ready Your ignorance is not an ecxuse For the abuse that I face everyday Your ignorance is not a way You can undermine me Your ignorance is not an excuse For the abuse that I face everyday Your ignorance is not a way You can undermine me Stop touching me, without my permission Stop patronising me, using your discretion Stop gaslighting me, I’m not yours to light up Stop mansplanning me, i know it’s not ALL FUCKING MEN Your ignorance is not an excuse For the abuse that I face everyday Your ignorance is not a way You can undermine me Your ignorance is not an excuse For the abuse that I face everyday Your ignorance is not a way You can undermine me You better stop x2 and dont u dare reply with this What you gonna do about - well imma tell you what im gonna fucking do about it You better stop x2 unless you want this nasty ass trip We’re all coming together finally after ur atrocity standing up against this shit Your ignorance is not an excuse For the abuse that I face everyday Your ignorance is not a way You can undermine me Your ignorance is not an excuse For the abuse that I face everyday Your ignorance is not a way You can undermine me

about

This album is focused on calling out the bullshit oppression that I have personally experienced. So much fucking solidarity with anyone dealing with oppression right now, you're fucking awesome - I love you x

Also I aim to make my music as accessible as possible, so if you cannot afford £5.50 please message me on www.facebook.com/caseytufnell and we will sort something out!!

Info about the term kyriarchy:

The term kyriarchy was coined by Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza in her 2001 book, Wisdom Ways: Introducing Feminist Biblical Interpretation. In the glossary, she defines kyriarchy as:

a neologism…derived from the Greek words for “lord” or “master” (kyrios) and “to rule or dominate” (archein) which seeks to redefine the analytic category of patriarchy in terms of multiplicative intersecting structures of domination… Kyriarchy is best theorized as a complex pyramidal system of intersecting multiplicative social structures of superordination and subordination, of ruling and oppression.

I would love to thank the AMAZING Lex for the artwork, they are also a non-binary vegan. You can find their artwork here: www.aiws.lt

The recording of Crush was an amazing experience, the music engineer randomly brought in a shaker and a bongo drum and it really added to the whole feel of the song. So thank you for that, Simon Dodd.

Also would like to thank Isi so much who recorded the rest of this EP. Her studio is in a converted barn and we had many awesome conversations about the EU and about veganism!
