about

A young girl named Melanie Cabay had disappeared in the Montreal vicinity and there were posters offering a reward for any information about her disappearance. I saw these and had a deep feeling in my guts that she was already dead. I then wrote a song about her and her killer. The major point I make in this song is that we must care for our sick. If we beat them down they are liable to turn on us and lash out at our weakest and most vulnerable citizens: Our kids

lyrics

SHE'S MEAT

Have they found her yet?
She's meat! She's meat!
We all know she's my child too
A city to cry she's your child too

Care for your sick 'cause they're yours too
You kick them when they're down
That's why you fear them when, when they're up!
They're up! Yeah, yeah, yeah
They're up! Yeah, yeah, yeah

We all know they've got good reasons
To kick you back their way
Shark will tear at your limbs
Snakes will inject you with slow death
Wonder what snakes inject? Coke and Smack!
Pain is a door through love
Love by itself is too potent
One needs pain in order to value love
What a mess!

Have they found her yet?
She's meat! She's meat!
We all know she's my child too
A city to cry she's your child too
Victims, victims, victims of Johnny yeah!
