And police baton that rule over my nation
There are fighters with a mission in the war torn street
And they are working to ensure that people still can eat
chorus:
Food! not bombs! We're gonna take the streets and ransack the dumpsters
Food! not bombs! We're gonna tie you to a table and feed your face with
Food! not bombs! cuz guns and nukes cause indigestion
Food! not bombs! we're gonna fill up all the tummies in the human race
Some people try to put us down
But let me tell you about what's comming around
We got a great big pot of sweet potato stew
We got some bagels and some muffins and salad too!
When there's enough in the land to go all around
There ain't no justifyin' hunger when the sun goes down
CHORUS (and we are...)
Now the weed and seed hit my city yesterday
And the Kitchen at the Rescue Mission started to say
You need to pray for half an hour or you wont get feed
If we can't save your soul, we don't care if you're dead
We're Food not Bombs, we don't care who you are
You could be sleeping in a gutter living in your car
You could be tight for rent and up against eviction
Or runnin' from you 9th felony conviction
We'll sit you down with a plate of food
And watch a home cooked meal elevate your mood
And if John D. Rockerfeller himself walks up
To our picnic line, we'll say 'yo wassup'?
Have a bowl of vegan soup you old crook
And next time come on over to the kitchen and cook!
WITH...Chorus
Now we never serve genetically engineered
Food stuffs if we can help it that shit is weird
We're talking cucumber mosaic virus out on the loose
With some pretty scary recombinant juice
Round up's in the food at your grocery store
Corn oil, corn syrup pesticide galore!
Pesticides and herbicides are made to kill
But we got organic so EAT YOUR FILL!
WE'RE...Chorus
There once was an orange with 10,000 neighbors
Picked by the hands of 10,000 laborors
Put into boxes to be shipped away
On 10,000 trucks, the very next day
Then on planes and trains and ships for the reason
So people could eat them even though they're out of season
Before they're consumed by mouths so wealthy
Bought at high prices because they're called healthy
They're taken to a warehouse to be sorted out
Where a box gets picked up and the bottom falls out
3 have been bruised but the rest are just fine
But they threw them all out cause they just had no time
And along with the oranges they threw out the gas
That they pumped in the trucks to make them go fast
They threw out the trees and they threw out the labor
And they threw out the oranges that no one would savor
But then we can along with resourcful behavior
And the orange said, "you're my personal savior!"
