Pain is pain

We designate our higher rank, then subjugate those of a "lesser" state
We construct the definitions to reinforce our dominant positions
and now that we've established us and them, we feel a peace of mind
Similarities? Coincidence, dismissed; all doubts are set aside

But don't look in the mirror
you may not like what you find
"?cause when the doubts return you'll see
that being human doesn't mean we have the right
to do whatever the fuck we please

Is it lack of compassion, or a love of control?
Dare I speculate? Do I want to know?
I renounce that mindset;
I offer my respect to the non-human animals I share this earth with

Their existence is not defined by our status in comparison
They're so much more than biological instruments

Pain is pain across the board
Your rationalizations hold no more
Superior to what!?
So as long as you maintain your present course,
that train of thought let me tell you that"¦
I'll live my life resisting as long as you keep riding that train of thought
