lyrics

SKIP

It may be a bit of an American thing
But the supermarkets got a song to sing
Saying we can't afford to ever get sued
By people getting ill from eating our food
Here's your sell-by date on the back
Here's your instructions on the pack
Where's the food that's all thrown away?
Lying out the back in a skip they say

I found it in a skip

If it's midnight snacking
You're after get packing
From the pub to the grub
That's flung at the back
Of the supermarket - free food!
Wake up all you half-asleepers
Free market economy- finders keepers

You want your food for free
Found it in a skip

Oversupply on the sell-by date
Or the mouldy reminder it'll be too late
To have this bread on tomorrow's plate
So binbag it up and give it way
It's Sunday- over the street there's a church
Let's say they all get back on their feet and emerge
To all the bread they can eat or disperse
To the poor and needy- ah now they're at the door
Turn up the sounds it's free food core!

Found it in a skip

Antibiotics at the bottom of the skip
Don't take a chance of getting sick
Question marks at the bottom of the packet
Just one left so I think I'd better have it
Found a blue pill and a bottle of wine
1968 or 9
Woke up in the hospital next day
MSG in my DNA
It may not be good for my health
But I can't afford to eat anywhere else

Found it in a skip
---------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile-
Coin flipping heads to tales
Of modern-day poverty off the scale
Pride and status the whole dividing
Nature of these things we hide in
Along with expectation, trust in
All the masks of civilisation
Crashing hungry to the floor
Here's your humanity eaten raw

Shamed and angry where do you begin
To fit? It's a social sin
Food banks handing out hope in tins
To farmers driven to the wall by minimal
Prices right it's supermarket
Warfare on the poor and starving
Cheap and nasty feeding on
A chemical nutrition bomb
