roost<br \/>\nWe all feel, we&#8217;re hurled<br \/>\ninto this fearful maelstrom<br \/>\nchildren one by one<br \/>\nfed on all these processed foods<br \/>\nwith sugar by the tonne<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Hydrogenated fats<br \/>\nand, E Numbers galore<br \/>\nThe Corporates make<br \/>\ntheir killing<br \/>\nAnd we want more and more<br \/>\nWhite rice and white sugar<br \/>\nAll the rotten stuff<br \/>\nColoured sweets and<br \/>\ncarbonated drinks<br \/>\nCan&#8217;t get enough!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Big machines in schools<br \/>\nflogging all this shit<br \/>\nso we become obese,<br \/>\nit just don&#8217;t cease<br \/>\nyea we&#8217;re not fit<br \/>\nIts everywhere you see it<br \/>\nIn A &amp; E loads there<br \/>\nPacked with that aspartame<br \/>\nit makes me fat, I swear<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The teachers in the school<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t care<br \/>\nmy mum and dad don&#8217;t know<br \/>\nThey watch Eastenders<br \/>\nevery night and the<br \/>\ncola drinks just flow<br \/>\nWe have bags of crisps<br \/>\nand puddings and dairy<br \/>\nproducts, we<br \/>\nHave childrens vitamins<br \/>\nevery day and aspartame you can see<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">its on the label, on the bottle mum says that we should<br \/>\nif it is in the vitamins<br \/>\nmum says it is good<br \/>\nAdvertising everywhere<br \/>\nits given out at school,<br \/>\nand when I said I thought<br \/>\nit made me fat<br \/>\nI was called a fool<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The stuff comes from America<br \/>\nand so it must be good<br \/>\nI thought I&#8217;d check the internet<br \/>\nbecause I thought I should<br \/>\nAnd there I saw some<br \/>\nstories that the<br \/>\nartificial stuff<br \/>\nwas horrible, was evil<br \/>\nand did make people rough<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Articles on brain tumours<br \/>\na big boil in your head<br \/>\nI thought that don&#8217;t sound healthy and looked some more<br \/>\nwhich led<br \/>\nMe further down the road<br \/>\nand I discovered that this stuff<br \/>\nwas a biochemical warfare agent<br \/>\nChrist I&#8217;d had enough<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Why was it in my vitamins<br \/>\nWhy was it my drink<br \/>\nWhy were they selling it at school<br \/>\nAnd in hospital, the link<br \/>\nWas clear a little research on the internet<br \/>\nand I knew<br \/>\nThat aspartame was a shocker and it wasn&#8217;t good for you<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">But the big boys spent their money<br \/>\nthey advertised it well<br \/>\nThe Cola drinks and the cakes and sweets<br \/>\nIts what the shops then sell<br \/>\nAnd mum bought it in Tesco&#8217;s every time she went<br \/>\nThey even sold it in the garage pounds and pounds we&#8217;ve spent<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Buying what may turn out<br \/>\nto soon affect my brain<br \/>\nIts funny Dad is always<br \/>\nmoaning that his head. aches again<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s got Tinnitus<br \/>\nand he&#8217;s still so young<br \/>\nand he gets a shooting pain<br \/>\nUp is legs and up his back and it could be aspartame<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So now I will not<br \/>\ndrink the stuff,<br \/>\nI will not eat the cakes<br \/>\nI told mum<br \/>\nthere are better vitamins<br \/>\nmore expensive makes<br \/>\nI read that monkleys given it<br \/>\nhad died and some went mad<br \/>\nWith epilepsy or something<br \/>\nand I did, I did feel sad<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">And mice babies developed<br \/>\nholes inside their brain<br \/>\nand all this stuff had not come out<br \/>\nwhich I thought was a pain<br \/>\nI printed off the pages<br \/>\nand took them into school<br \/>\nMy teacher told me clearly<br \/>\nthis was written by some fool<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Its a minefield and there<br \/>\nare minefields, for kid&#8217;s like me you know<br \/>\nIts in our magazines, on telly and in the cinema where I go<br \/>\nIts everywhere aspartame and real hard to avoid<br \/>\nBut I don&#8217;t want a tumour in my brain, and I&#8217;m annoyed<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">That nobody can help me<br \/>\nnobody at all<br \/>\nEven the nurse who looks<br \/>\nfor lice, she drinks it at school<br \/>\nSo if Teachers do it, and Nurses do it, and parents do it, then we<br \/>\nKid&#8217;s who don&#8217;t know nothing what chance can there be?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Phenylalanine\/DKP\/Aspartic
