Ember Swift Include My Food Lyrics

Include My Food Lyrics

"Are you hungry?" he asked "Care to join me in a bite of thought?"

I
looked and the table and said, "thank-you for your kindness, but really, I'm
not."

"C'mon, let's chat, 'chew the fat' with me! 

Let's debate the
ethics on our plate; Let's disagree! 

Aren't you going to tell me how
everything I eat 

is derived from misery and cruelty? 

Aren't you
going to tell me about the contents of meat?

All the pesticides and the
hormones?

C'mon Ember, let's disagree. C'mon Ember, let's disagree!"





We pick our politics like we choose the food to fill
our stomachs

Parting with money is just playing with fate

I choose
to start with the food upon my plate

I really sincerely don't mean to be
rude

But my politics INCLUDE MY FOOD.



Seems we all live in a
mist of mediocrity

Never ever thinking that we can have an impact

But, it's a fact that we as people are the very pulse of the economy.

Everything we purchase, invest in or consume

has the power to
demystify and to perpetuate this capitalist gloom

Because everything that
we buy is attached to a company with a policy

about production,
employment, government or the environment (to name a few)
