Sheep are eating their shite grass
Cow is chewing crud
Chickens are a-sittin' in excrement
Pigs are a-drippin' blood
Landscape and architecture
At the Great Buffet
Art out of acts of torture
At the Great Buffet, at the Great Buffet
Look at all the pretty flowers growing in the filth
Look at that famous mother's baby
Suckling poison milk
Landscape and architecture
At the Great Buffet
Art out of acts of torture
At the Great Buffet, at the Great Buffet
Look at all thе dormitories gone is their gumption
Imaginе them all full of faces
Form follows function
