What Have We Become |
'What have we become?' |
Said the mother to her half-ton son |
Chicken wings have replaced the thumb |
That’s what we’ve become |
'What have we become?' |
Second row in some free market scrum |
These pizza boxes blocking out the sun |
That’s what we’ve become |
And it’s outlet after outlet after outlet after mall |
Burgers and T-bones and coffee is all |
Hello convenience, goodbye market stall |
When the eagle has landed, three lions must fall |
So it’s awesome after awesome after awesome after great |
We’re so busy lovin' it, we’ve forgotten to hate |
When everything’s amazing, you’ll eat the whole plate |
Opinionless, sad and overweight |
What have we become? |
Listen up to the song they strum |
No message, just a tune to hum |
That’s what we’ve become |
What have we become? |
Strips of pork bathin' in the sun |
Barb wire holdin' in our bum |
That’s what we’ve become |
And it’s plastic after plastic after plastic after fake |
Celluloid and silicon, is all that we make |
When the world is made of botox, there’s no heart to break |
So full of sugar, we’ve no will to bake |
Sad and overweight… |
And you’ll actually love your kids less |
As they take you from a 10 to a size 16 dress |
A clean-shaven chest above a six-pack moon |
This earth has gotta crash soon |
Sad and overweight |
Sad and overweight |
Sad and overweight |
