Growing Your Own
I popped down to the meaty tree
to pick myself a steak
on the way I waved at cows
busy surfing by the lake
Since the foodie revolution
they haven't much to do
They'd like to learn a language
but their only word is moo
All the butcher shops have vanished
queues for lamb chops are no more
and if your crave is sausages
they grow up through the floor
When you're aching for full English
bacon blossoms taste divine
I collect them in the hedgerows
and fried eggs aren't hard to find
AI's put an end to famine
before it got too late
with no more starving children
or hunger on a plate
But the only thing that rankles
leaving morsels for debate
now food is growing everywhere
the whole world's overweight
to pick myself a steak
on the way I waved at cows
busy surfing by the lake
Since the foodie revolution
they haven't much to do
They'd like to learn a language
but their only word is moo
All the butcher shops have vanished
queues for lamb chops are no more
and if your crave is sausages
they grow up through the floor
When you're aching for full English
bacon blossoms taste divine
I collect them in the hedgerows
and fried eggs aren't hard to find
AI's put an end to famine
before it got too late
with no more starving children
or hunger on a plate
But the only thing that rankles
leaving morsels for debate
now food is growing everywhere
the whole world's overweight
