A song about how we're increasingly turning our food production into a man-made assembly line of environmental destruction.

Artist picture
A solo punk band with songs ranging from politics to social issues to evolutionary biology.
Lacking any real musical talent, I decided to use Punk-o-Matic to create some generic punk backgrounds to the various songs I had written. Recorded at low quality through a computer microphone, the songs are not musical masterpieces but the lyrics are still strong. Give it a listen, you might enjoy it.

Lyrics
An abomination of agribusiness lust Envious eyes with hearts so-oh unjust Biologic knowledge applied to our livestock Evolution halted, these tycoons place the lock Artificial insemination staining our conscious How do we consume a thing as frightful as this? Food Machine, unclean, un-keen, un-weaned These spliced genes, obscene in our cuisine Oh, Why-why-why can’t we all go green? Injected with antibiotics ad-naseum Run off in ecosystems destroying ‘em Factories of disease, communities of filth Unnatural, un-nurturing, antithesis of health Fed cannibalized wastes of the same brood This mad scientist’s laboratory’s where we get our food Food Machine, unclean, un-keen, un-weaned These spliced genes, obscene in our cuisine Oh, Why-why-why can’t we all go green? Chickens with breast ever so large Cows stomachs the size of a shipping barge What’s next? Tumors and edible growths Slabs of tissue, nothing quite so grose A planet destroyed to make checks black While obesity kills, our hearts attack And even with all this so many starve Our over-consumption thanks to who we are An insane policy of distribution Why don’t we work towards a solution? Let’s face it, a world of equal means Can be accomplished without food machines! Food Machine, unclean, un-keen, un-weaned These spliced genes, obscene in our cuisine Oh, Why-why-why can’t we all go green? Re-re-replace the careen with the serene C’mon man, don’t you know what I mean? Abolish the food machine!
