about
Where he discovers that all food is political.
lyrics
The Bold and the Beautiful walked into an Irish bar
They ordered them some food to go and ate it in their German car
The Bold and the Beautiful were simply being beautiful
That’s what it takes to be so attractive
Give me something to look at
Give me something to munch on
Give me something to talk about - I’ll talk about it
And I won’t have to be so angry no more
Give me someone to look at
Give me something to punch on
Give me someone to talk about - I’ll talk about them
And I won’t have to be so angry no more
Henry Ford said history’s bunk
From Jesus Christ to pop and punk
JP Morgan tried to save the country his outrageous spunk
I wonder what those dudes would say about the kings that rule today
And the profits that they pass off as knowledge
Give me something to look at
Give me something to munch on
Give me something to talk about - I’ll talk about it
And I won’t have to be so angry no more
Give me someone to look at
Give me something to punch on
Give me someone to talk about - I’ll talk about them
And I won’t have to be so angry no more
This is what it takes to make a mistake these days
This is what it means when they say we are machines.
They ordered them some food to go and ate it in their German car
The Bold and the Beautiful were simply being beautiful
That’s what it takes to be so attractive
Give me something to look at
Give me something to munch on
Give me something to talk about - I’ll talk about it
And I won’t have to be so angry no more
Give me someone to look at
Give me something to punch on
Give me someone to talk about - I’ll talk about them
And I won’t have to be so angry no more
Henry Ford said history’s bunk
From Jesus Christ to pop and punk
JP Morgan tried to save the country his outrageous spunk
I wonder what those dudes would say about the kings that rule today
And the profits that they pass off as knowledge
Give me something to look at
Give me something to munch on
Give me something to talk about - I’ll talk about it
And I won’t have to be so angry no more
Give me someone to look at
Give me something to punch on
Give me someone to talk about - I’ll talk about them
And I won’t have to be so angry no more
This is what it takes to make a mistake these days
This is what it means when they say we are machines.
