Mr Rooker and his ideas

The only way to know if food
Contains genetic crap
Is ANALYSE the foodstuffs
But there’s this widening gap
Developing, for let us say
Conventional food can
Be spiked, by this genetic stuff
That’s why we need a ban

You lot um and are and say
It’s good technology
Let a monsanto the monsters
Grow it easily
America gives free reign to the
Great transgenic mob
Already organic tortillas
We’re impregnated Sob sob

So fining the food stores
It is incredible
When you lot fail to take
The stance and say
Genetic food is banned in GB thank you
So if it’s found here then the only way
It got here, is like drugs
By being smuggled
And tests for this are needed at the port
To expect some shop or mobile
To have done it
Surpasses sense and is said
With little thought

Waiters are to be aware
Says Rooker
Well, what you’ll get
Is people saying what
Others want to hear
For that will bring good cheer
And fining people
That’s is clearly not

The way my shop is certified
Organic
That’s the way to go
Call for certification
If there’s any doubt
Do realise the wind blows too
Can we be blamed for all
The seed that’s carried out into the
Countryside to impregnate crops just
Where they all might fall.

Monsanto and Novartis are the culprits
Everybody knows it’s them that are wrong
They are the ones to pay if it now happens
And then faced with this fact another song
They might start a singing. I am hoping
For these gigantic companies that we
Put a boycott into being
And make it stick worldwide if we are to be

I thought you were the party of the people
And if this is the case then better you
Tell the great genetic hordes they have had it
For really there’s not much else you can do.
