For nearly 50 years
\nThey have been spraying
\nIts not as if we wanted them to spray
\nThe giants selling chemicals were angry
\nBecause we didn’t buy enough each day
\nWell sod them I just tell them go and rattle
\nYour can outside some others growers door
\nWe believe Organics is the answer
\nAnd we don’t want to see you anymore<\/span><\/span>The problem has been
\nLily livered growers
\nWho Listened to the salesmen all aglow
\nDressed in his tuxedo
\nSaw his limosine
\nAnd frankly didn’t dare to just say No!
\nAnd so they bought his sacks and drums of chemicals
\nThe pesticides were gonna fall like rain
\nThe earth was gonna get so soaked up by them
\nThat run- off would occur over againAnd sure enough the years have passed
\nAnd wildlife
\nSufferred as the concentrations grew
\n2 heads- no eyes
\nAnd the famous tiny penis
\nNo surprise to me in that vast stew
\nFish all sorts of wild birds
\nHave all perished
\nDissapeared and never will return
\nMan is bloody arrogant and greedy
\nAnd thinks he knows it all
\nWith nowt to learn<\/p>\n

Well just look at the Everglades
\nCor blimey!
\nPlaces where just everything has gone
\nButterflies and fish of all descriptions
\nThey are really now just not upon
\nThis Earth of ours
\nExtinct gone like man’s brain box
\nSperm counts
\nAlmost everything
\nHe knows
\nTaking on a force as great as Nature
\nProves he is no midas
\nAnd it shows!<\/p>\n

And now with cancer hitting every family
\nWe’ve gone against the most important law
\nWe choose to save a few bob on the food bill
\nAnd fill our home with more and more and more
\nGadgetry,the\u00a0cell phones\u00a0and the game boys
\nEverybody needs a\u00a0mountain bike
\nPriorities have changed
\nSalesman became de-ranged
\nThey told us that crap food we all should like<\/p>\n

And so we entered the big world of burgers
\nOf ice cold drinks when Jack Frost was about
\nSausages crammed full of ears and head meat
\nAs long as they were cheap there was no doubt
\nThe great big scared out of our wits Joe Public
\nTold farmers what they ate had to be cheap
\nAnd sure enough they killed the vital\u00a0life force
\nAnd more and more sick children heard mums weep<\/p>\n

Bitter yea we are but we’re still buying
\nAll the fractured crap made out of nowt
\nBleached and blanched devoid of precious minerals
\nAnd honest folks thats what it s all about
\nNiavely we went down that road like little lambs
\nBleating all in line we did agree
\nThey blew their blooming trumpets
\nAnd the dogs barked
\nAnd before we could say Jack Robinson BSE<\/p>\n

Was raging in our farms across our country
\nCows were falling victims to its power
\nListeria and Eggs and Mrs Curry
\nSalmonella over us did tower
\nNow its CJD some kids are getting it
\nThey were given\u00a0spinal cord\u00a0and chips
\nThey ground it up with rusk inside the burgers
\nThe bastards who did that I hope their lips<\/p>\n

Will also feel the wrath of\u00a0Bovine Spongiform
\nFor what you give to one has to be shared
\nFeeding cows with cows yes poor tired ruminants
\nIn every\u00a0walk of life\u00a0things are just squared
\nAnd so it will be put into perspective
\nKarma will exact a lesson here
\nPeople did make claims about its safety
\nIN MAFF and in the Government twas clear<\/p>\n

The dawn though is now breaking
\nFor those people
\nThe lies the agro companies did tell
\nThey led us down their road
\nInto oblivion and gradually they all got sick as well
\nAnd now its take less protein
\nOkay Doctor all these different messages we hear
\nFirst its too much sugar then its too much fat
\nAnd now its too much protein well that’s clear<\/p>\n

Vegans living on\u00a0Brown Rice\u00a0with Vegetables
\nOrganic Fruit\u00a0and whole grains with less flour
\nAre gonna knock the spots off all the carnivores
\nWho say that vegetables usurp their power
\nUp the garden path and back for 50 years
\nScientists have preached their sermons long
\nAnd now its come up trumps to be a vegan
\nSo one thing in my life I’ve not got wrong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
