here comes a realistic tale ’bout love and life and food
’bout animals and cannibals and vegetarian mood
consumer-information’s not available I’m sorry
newspapers need sensations now listen to this story
today they say it’s BSE, foot and mouth disease
tomorrow swine and avian flu, yesterday ’twas rabies
I understood these messages and changed my eating habits
no beef, no pork, no snake, no stork, no chicken and no rabbits
what can I eat, what can I do, what can I believe?
today they say, tomorrow too, one sea of grief
with salad, fruit and mushrooms, vegetables and corn
I’ll be the last survivor, meat-eaters are forlorn
the shock came in the morning, quite frankly from the news
EHEC in soya-sprouts, man, then I got the blues!
what can I eat, what can I do, what can I believe?
today they say, tomorrow too, one sea of grief
I had a great idea so simple, good and smart
and now I live on love alone until I’ll fall apart
and now I live on love alone until I’ll fall apart
