01) Wonderfood (TM)

Born in tubes,
pressed into cubes
by a strict diet of fables
No recall, one size fits all
straight from the school to your table,
A one way road programmed in code
hopeless, compliant and willing
no ideas but stuffed with old fears
so that we might seem more filling

(chorus)
Now we're all conveniently queued
cleanly shaven, scrubbed up and nude
and we're oh so easily chewed
Wonderfood

We poisoned the seas, killed all the trees
and all the animals smothered.
Looked around for something to eat
and all we saw was each other.

So wars were fought, stocks dropped a lot
no new world wanted to brave us.
All those selfish ideas about will being free...
Thankfully, chemicals saved us!

(chorus)

(bridge)
Now we can finally say we've achieved
the sustainable world
in which our ancestors believed.
There is no incorruptable seed
which we cannot, in time
learn to bend to our needs.

Now all is fine, trains run on time,
though nobody needs to get on them.
You just sit in place, stuff your fat face
and never get off of your bottom.
In those days gone by folks had to try
to look for a life that had purpose.
Now all that's changed, it's all pre-arranged
and there's never a shortage or surplus

(chorus)
