Personal
The queen of MSG
I want to tell you a story
About the queen of MSG
Not forgetting e numbers too
Everything thats bad for you
Im talking about my mum
Still knee deep in the program
Getting on in years too
Cooking stuff thats bad for you
Im not just talking about
Ghastly stuff out the packet
The way she boils the crap
The goodness, doesnt entrap
Cooking cabbage, green water
No gooness left in: oughta
Same for every vegetable
To process a bodily struggle
Dont forget gravy granules too
Day after it turns to glue
Is that how gluten got its name?
Either way, its waste: insane
We even consume it at all
Western food standards: Mental
Cheap stock full of salt
It really isnt her fault
Limited budget, food going up
Soon the people gonna be stuffed
Not with food, lack of it
Shelf stackers, job to omit
Whole system turns blind eyes
Bad for you, shouldnt suprise
Profiteering or more sinister?
People in charge, just don’t care
Just seeking increasing profits
People suffering: STOP IT
Im glad i dont eat mums food
None of its any good for you
Dads struggling under the weight
Of Boiled food at a discount rate
The only cheap things in food shops
Bad for you or waste products
No choice for poor people
Or too busy or too feeble
Please think about what you eat
Could be killing people inavertently
