"It's not about what I cannot do
I'm gonna try not to waste today
Break my pattern into something new
I gotta hear what I need to say

It's not about what I cannot do
I'm gonna try not to waste today
Break my pattern into something new
I gotta hear what I need to say."
END

I try to think global
Remain hopeful
Act local
Necessarly vocal
And so social
I ate now I'm so full
And bloated to excess
On the plate there's nothing left
Gotta take it to the chest
Complete it like a test
Or maybe not
Should I not be saying yes?
Knowing when to stop
Looking for the best place for a great feast
In the U.S., half the population is obese
Meat follows soup
Move your feet if you can see 'em
Seems we're all consumers
But rarely human beings

The soup's got controls
Caviar and gold plates
Environment raise down more ways (?)
We grew food
Genetically engineered more food
More processed food
These factories to force you to get in touch with your chemical side
Your pesticide
This whole enterprise makes me question why
We've got it so wrong
One too many swan songs (?)
Is sustainability long gone or what?
Am I right to call out these criticisms?
A full bellied outspoken straight contradiction
I look into the face of those who are starving
Asking myself am I just making noise
With half the planet poised, waiting for an answer
I hold my place in the protest with an anchor

"It's not about what I cannot do
I'm gonna try not to waste today
Break my pattern into something new
I gotta hear what I need to say."

I try to think global
Remain hopeful
Act local
Necessarily vocal
Annd so social
I'm noble as the next man
And that's generally poor
We're self absorbed and hard to deplore
And in order to afford it
Wack it on the plastic
Snap it like a brittle wooden match stick
Come with me
To gluttony
Accumulate and destroy
Repudiate and employ
Rejuvinate and enjoy
Hormone injected burgers
Make them little cattle bones grow quicker
The skin sits but quivers (?)
These God damn fast food chains
Food looks strange
Let alone like anything the ads claim
Marketed to families
Get 'em young
Do the sums
Sell it by the tonne
Where to run?

One ad campaign across the whole planet
So we can sing the same jingle they branded
This is my candle-lit vigil
I'm standing fearful
We got pulled in by a lame ritual
I'm not a rock
I think despite what I'm not I'd sink
It's over when we blink in unison on the brink
Well I pump myself up with more pharmaceuticals
Add more life to my expectancy
It may affect your pregnancy
But it might be profitable
Jump blindly into whatever's possible

"It's not about what I cannot do
I'm gonna try not to waste today
Break my pattern into something new
I gotta hear what I need to say."

"It's not about what I cannot do
I'm gonna try not to waste today
Break my pattern into something new
I gotta hear what I need to say."
