You Are What You Eat
Mutabaruka tell the truth
When he tell me and you
That they call it fast food
Because it kill you fast too
If you comprehending me point of view
With all that fast food you will be through
Stay I-tal, is vital
Delay instant gratification
Pollution of the body now a national vocation
Are what you eat in more ways than one
Media images make up daily consumption.
So you are what you eat so live well and live clean
Purify your mind of the obscene
All that you touch and all that you see
Is all that your life shall ever ever be.
A fast food nation
Living in stagnation
Happy meal don’t make you happy
They a plastic degradation
Now me gotta a crappy toy and a heart condition
Caused by salt, sugar, fat and cholesterol addiction
Food with no nourishment like life with no soul
Consume, consume
You never fill that hole
Liberate from processed living that is our goal
To subsist hand to mouth and eat what I grow
Got no need for no KFC bucket
Got no need for Big Mac, fuck that!
Got no need for no pizza delivery boy
Got no need for no crappy little plastic toy
Cause all these things they bring me no joy
They trick you think you eat
I say that a ploy
They mek you think that you nourish a-plenty
Your belly full but your mind is empty.
What they feeding you through your TV screens?
Designed to delete your personality
Eliminate free will and criticality
With a white supremacist cultural hegemony
30, 000 adverts per annum
Warping your brain cause that’s how they plan ‘em
Now every thought and desire you can conceive
Originate with the devil on that MTV.
Don’t be brainwash but wash your mind clean
Don’t be a brainwash but washit washit washit.
They call it fast food cause it kill you fast too
They call it fast food cause it kill ya!
