Consumed
Mummy we’re starving hungry please make some bread
Daddy’s grains ground to flour mixed with yeast makes dough
Fire and oven do their work come now and eat she said
We sit and share and laugh content as family we grow
Time to eat again we know someone that bakes a dozen
We have eggs exchange for a loaf so spare the laborious oven
On it goes at the market there’s ciabatta pitta breads galore
Telly computer DVD and MP4 all kinds of gadgets that we adore
All regulated by global economic system trading politics and more
Daddy is off to learn the law it’s the new way to earn good dough
Mummy seems a little bit low drugs keep her up from bed
The greedy ones stole from the fabric of our life support system
Banks are failing because of them bread can’t be found at all
No internet no gas no electric the car wont go the water’s off
Mummy knows how to iron and pops from freezer to microwave
Daddy knows all the law legal levels of salt and saturated fat
But Mummy we’re starving hungry we’ll soon be dead
Lungs stopped breathing victims of our consumption
Wish we had never swapped those eggs
