D

[Verse 1]
G         D            Em       C            D         G
Listen up brothers and sisters, come hear my desperate tale
  G            D          Em      C              D           G
I speak of our friends of nature, trapped in the dirt like a jail
G         D         Em        C             D           G
Vegtables live in oppression, served on our tables each night
     G          D          Em       C        D           G
This killing of veggies is madness, I say we take up the fight

[Pre-chorus]
D                   G          D                        G
Salads are only for murderers, cole slaw's a fascist regime
D                                G         C                          D
Don't think that they don't have feelings, just 'cause a radish can't scream

[Chorus]
G              D              Em
I've heard the screams of the vegetables, (scream, scream, scream)
C                          D
watching their skins being peeled (having their insides revealed)
G          D               Em
Grated and steamed with no mercy, (burning up calories)
C          D          G
how do you think that feels? (bet it hurts real bad)
G            D           Em
Carrot juice constitutes murder, (and that's a real crime)
C                       D
greenhouses prisons for slaves (let my vegetables go)
     G            D        Em
It's time to stop all this gardening, (It's dirty as hell)
C            D       G
let's call a spade a spade (is a spade, is a spade, is a spade, is a...)

[Verse 2]
G       D          Em      C         D             G
I saw a man eating celery, so I beat him black and blue
   G       D         Em                 C        D        G
If he ever touches a sprout again, I'll bite him clean in two
G     D         Em        C            D          G
I'm a political prisoner, trapped in a windowless cage
G                    D            Em          C            D        G
'cause I stopped the slaughter of turnips, by killing five men in a rage

[Pre-chorus]
D                        G             D                 G
I told the judge when he sentenced me, this is my finest hour
D                       G     C                          D
I'd kill those farmers again, just to save one more cauliflower

[Chorus]
G              D              Em
I've heard the screams of the vegetables, (scream, scream, scream)
C                          D
watching their skins being peeled (having their insides revealed)
G          D               Em
Grated and steamed with no mercy, (burning up calories)
C          D          G
how do you think that feels? (bet it hurts real bad)
G            D           Em
Carrot juice constitutes murder, (and that's a real crime)
C                       D
greenhouses prisons for slaves (let my vegetables go)
     G            D        Em
It's time to stop all this gardening, (It's dirty as hell)
C            D       G
let's call a spade a spade (is a spade, is a spade, is a spade, is a...)

[Bridge]
Am                   Em
How low as people do we dare to stoop
C                      G
Making young broccolis bleed in the soup
Am                  Em
Untie your beans, uncage your tomatoes
    C                         D
Let potted plants free, don't mash that potato!

[Outro]
G              D              Em
I've heard the screams of the vegetables, (scream, scream, scream)
C                          D
watching their skins being peeled (fates in the stir fry are sealed)
G          D               Em
Grated and steamed with no mercy, (you fat gourmet slob)
C          D          G
how do you think that feels? (leave them out in the fields)
G            D           Em
Carrot juice constitutes murder, (V8's genocide)
C                       D
greenhouses prisons for slaves (yes your compost's a grave)
     G            D        Em
It's time to stop all this gardening, (take up macrame)
C            D       G
let's call a spade a spade (is a spade, is a spade, is a spade, is a spade)

(Spoken)
Power to the peas! Give peas a chance!

(Sung to the tune of Give Peace a Chance)
G          D7                    G
All we are saying is give peas a chance
