American Fast Food Lyrics
Words and Music by
Randy Stonehill
American fast food, what a stupid way to die
American fast food, order me the jumbo fries
Oh, oh, it's easy
It's so easy and it's trouble free
It's quick and disposable, just like me
If I don't stop eating this greasy American fast food
Well, we're undernourished, but we're overfed
And we're munching on the burger with the white bread
And we're sucking up the sugar in a milkshake
Till we slip into depression with a big headache
And our arteries are crying out, "give us a break"
American fast food, what a stupid way to die
American fast food, you kiss your old age goodbye
Oh, oh, it's easy
It's so easy and it's trouble free
It's quick and disposable, just like me
If I don't stop eating this greasy American fast food
You won't have to embalm me when my life is through
There are so many preservatives in what I eat
The job's being done right now for you
"Can I take you order, please?"
"A cheeseburger, fries, and a big chocolate malted"
It's prefab junk at an exorbitant price
And it's bound to make you nauseous if you look at it twice
But they're selling you by telling you it's food that's fun
When it tastes like cardboard It chews like sponge
'cause it's really only garbage on a sesame bun
American fast food, what a stupid way to die
American fast food, order me the chili-size
Oh, oh, it's easy
It's so easy and it's trouble free
It's quick and disposable, just like me
If I don't stop eating this greasy American
I don't stop eating this greasy American fast food
