SONG LYRICS - People – will believe anything you say As long as you say it with a smile People – they don’t want to know the truth They just want to know that everything’s alright But I don’t want to rely upon The third hand information that I’m fed No I don’t want to hear another sound byte That simplifies the problems up ahead If you eat me, at least have the guts To look me in the eye And recognize That something’s died Something’s died She takes her free trade coffee white with two She likes her chicken skinned and vacuum sealed The halal-kosher debate is none of her concern A dozen eggs are cheaper from a shed, not a field The chew that’s in her sweets, the milk made chocolaty The crush of insect red that stains her hands and teeth The dolphins in her tuna, the human screams of pork back leg The fluffy yellow orange red of males who hatched the egg But who is she to argue? She’s greased the trolley wheels She’s priced out of the market And her budget cannot yield Two dozen sugared biscuits Are cheaper and more filling Than one organic piece of fruit So what would you decide? If you eat me, at least have the guts To look me in the eye And recognize That something’s died,.
