Meat Made

by Daniel Kelly - 2026

I like my art meat made,
          C         D             G        
By the hands or from the lips of human beings,
          C         D             G
Not the lifeless, dull excretions of machines,

     C         G      D       Em
You think it’s just a bit of fun,
     C             D         G
But each video or song you generate,
    C             D             G
Is theft from every artist who creates,

I want my art meat made,
From the hearts and minds of fellow human beings,
Not the slop spewed out from ignorant machines,

You think I’m just naïve,
But each million liters stollen from our streams,
Every kilowatt that could have power dreams,

I need my art meat made,
For the nourishing of feeling human beings,
Not for profit to the owners of machines,

You like the way it makes you laugh,
But your laugh to the ending of our race,
Acceleration of the terrifying pace,

I choose my art meat made,
By the hands or from the lips of human beings,
Not the lifeless, dull excretions of machines,
