Food from Food by Brian Cutean QTN

need some food in my belly
need some drink for the dry in my throat
need for the world to recognize it
everybody's in the same holey boat

you know it ain't right for people to go hungry
with all the food being thrown away
just because it ain't the right size or perfect
'cause you can't turn a fast dollar that way
and you know it ain't right to make people grow coffee
when their families could be growing food
working those lands for corporations
don't do hungry people no good

you know it ain't right to cut the trees down
just to grow a bunch of cheap hamburger meat
you know those trees they hold the topsoil
and those burgers aren't fit to eat
and you know it ain't right to punish the farmers
for growing food clean and poison-free
oughta be a govenment to protect them
put tax dollars where they need to be
people need food in their bellies
need some drink for the dry in their throats
need for the world to recognize it
everybody's in the same holey boat

but you know we spend twenty-five million on a movie
not even worth being shown on teevee
then we spend two billion dollars on an airplane
we claim nobody else can see
then we spend eight hundred billion on defenses
planning new ways to blow each other around
but even one percent of that budget
could stop a whole lot of hungry sounds

now tell me: what’s wrong with this picture?
you kick a grain of sand and the whole beach shakes
but the future doesn't have to look dimmer
if we can just learn from our past mistakes
still, there's a lot of misplaced aggression
from people with a big empty hole inside
you know, the rocket's red glare and bombs bursting in air
just determines who is left, not who's right

people need food in their bellies
need some drink for the dry in their throats
need for the world to recognize it
everybody's in the same holey boat
