about

In response to unhealthy American habits and the reality that our food choices are killing us and we are teaching the next generation of children to be suicidal as well.

lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Food is a drug
And everybody addicted
And what you can afford is never nutritious
FDA act like
They don’t like your sickness
All health insurance
Is just big business
Most people obese
With some illness
We living in a time
When food is killing us
More deadly than our violence
And the people stay silent

[Verse 2:]
They probably got the itus
After they dollar meal
Poor people feeding their children
What they can afford
They sponsor church events
As if the Lord endorses
Or God would be eating
You’ve got to understand
The process of the profits
To keep the people sick
Keeps them in a bad place
And increases their faith
With nothing but hope
Food is the biggest dope

[Verse 3:]
Soul food in specific
Needs its own clinic
And it tastes so good
Hardening your arteries
Fatting your body
With butter and sugar
And it’s not illegal
Just a covert way
To kill poor people
And it’s hard to get
Anyone to listen
Ever think why
They don’t serve
Soul Food in their prisons

[Verse 4:]
That industrial complex
Needs their workers healthy
Only place in America
Health care is provided
Taxpayers tripping
Over paying for a war
When most poor places
Is a food oasis
You can’t have a strong nation
Buying milk at gas stations
Junk food and candy
Making fiends out of your babies
Then they look at me
Like what I’m saying is crazy

[Verse 5:]
I’ve been a food junky
My whole life in rehab
As I stay healthy
They say
I don’t know what I’m missing
But it’s hypertention
Stroke or death
They act like it’s nothing
Say that got to die from something
Food the #1 reason for their illness
But most people o.k. to die
From their own ignorance
Welcome to American
Where we kill our citizens


[Verse 6:]
Suicide is legal
As long as you pay your taxes
Alcohol and tobacco
Are sold with warnings
But what’s most deadly
Is what you eat every morning
And how you train your children
To eat in the same fashion
Junk food is a treat
It keeps the children sedated
When you come home
From working a job you hate
You keep the house silent
With all the food you all ate

[Verse 7:]
24-7
They push it through commercials
All in the movies
Through radio and video
They say they’ve served more beef
Than there are cows in existence
And not one time does anyone question it
They say they mix it with soy
To help preserve it
If you eating
What you don’t know
Then you deserve it
Cause if we stop and think about it
We all get nervous

[Verse 8:]
Food is a drug
And everybody addicted
And what you can afford is never nutritious
FDA act like
They don’t like your sickness
All health insurance
Is just big business
Most people obese
With some illness
We living in a time
When food is killing us
More deadly than our violence
And the people stay silent

Food is a drug
And everybody addicted
