[Verse 1] Stand in the aisle, light too bright, One million mouths and they all bite. Barcodes pray, machines confess, Feed me faster, I’ll taste less. Plastic shine, the meat don’t bleed, Factory grace for a human need. Question rots beneath the heat: What do we eat? What do we eat? [Chorus] What do we eat—when the fields are gone? What do we eat—when the price feels wrong? What do we eat—when the truth’s off-beat? We chew the chain, we chew the lie, And still repeat: what do we eat? [Verse 2] Corn in the veins, sugar for war, Fuel for the saint of the grocery store. Pigs in pens, ghosts in grain, No one remembers the farmer’s name. Screen says “fresh,” tongue says “fake,” Choice is a wound that we can’t unmake. Heaven’s menu, same old meat— What do we eat? What do we eat? [Chorus] What do we eat—when the roots are sold? What do we eat—when the fire goes cold? What do we eat—when the mouths compete? We chew the chain, we chew the lie, And still repeat: what do we eat? [Bridge] Every meal a mirror burn, Every bite a lesson unlearned. Feed the fear, forget the seed, Hunger is the god we need. [Final Chorus / Outro] What do we eat—when the soil’s asleep? What do we eat—when the debts run deep? What do we eat—when the taste is deceit? We chew the chain, we chew the lie, And still repeat: what do we eat? What do we eat? What do we eat?
