[Instrumental Intro] [0:00 - 0:20] [Tempo: 90 BPM, Psychedelic Grunge Groove] [A clean-yet-saturated electric guitar arpeggio swirls through a fast Leslie rotary speaker] [A secondary lead guitar plays smooth, singing, violin-like sustained notes drenched in plate reverb] [A heavy, grinding bassline locks in with a slow, powerful 4/4 drum pocket] [Verse 1] [0:20 - 0:48] [Smooth, resonant, haunting male lead vocals with slight vibrato and deep reverb] Shiny packages on polished rows, Where the poison quietly grows. They fired the inspector at the processing gate, To shave another dollar off the market rate. No need to test for what you cannot see, If you claim ignorance, the profit is free. Roll it down the line, ship it to the store, Let the consumer settle the score. [Pre-Chorus] [0:48 - 0:58] [Leslie guitars swell; bass drives up the fretboard; vocal gains gritty rasp] Turn a blind eye to the fever and the chills, There’s a fat bonus waiting in the paper mills... [Chorus] [0:58 - 1:25] [ALL CAPS - Massive wall of fuzzy, swirling guitars, soaring layered vocal harmonies] DEATH BY FOOD, SERVED ON A SILVER TRAY! WE TRADED THE SAFETY FOR THE EASY PAY! SWALLOW THE PRODUCT, DON'T ASK WHY! WATCH THE BOTTOM LINE REACH FOR THE SKY! DEATH BY FOOD, NO LOOKING BACK! A PROFIT-DRIVEN HEART ATTACK! [Verse 2] [1:25 - 1:52] [Guitars drop back to the haunting, liquid-smooth Leslie arpeggio pattern] Cattle in the dark, water turning black, Cutting out the watchdogs behind your back. It’s cheaper to settle in a quiet court, Than to fix the contamination they report. Bon appétit to the corporate greed, Burying the truth that nobody wants to read. [Chorus] [1:52 - 2:18] [ALL CAPS - Peak dynamic volume, sustained soaring lead vocal wails] DEATH BY FOOD, SERVED ON A SILVER TRAY! WE TRADED THE SAFETY FOR THE EASY PAY! SWALLOW THE PRODUCT, DON'T ASK WHY! WATCH THE BOTTOM LINE REACH FOR THE SKY! DEATH BY FOOD, NO LOOKING BACK! A PROFIT-DRIVEN HEART ATTACK! [Outro] [2:18 - 2:35] [The lead guitar unleashes a singing, smooth, psychedelic sustained solo] [Leslie rotor slows down as chords decay into dark, ambient plate reverb] (Death by food... wash it down...) [Clean Abrupt Stop at Exactly 2:35] [End]
