Stimulating Dinner Conversation (Scrambled Eggs and Brains)

Sure, the food is made from plastic
Oh, but, geez, it tastes fantastic.
It feels so good to eat just like a king

Mmmm...this oil is so refined
I wonder where it’s mined -
And how the hell do they turn that black goo green?

Close your eyes, open wide
and tell me what you taste.

I would swear it was a carrot
but it’s hard to compare it
when it comes in that thick and creamy paste

I just can’t believe the way they inflate those
Big red grapes and little green tomatoes 
Ripe and so juicy, I tell ya, they really fooled me.

You know, I don’t wanna be rude
But what we used to call food
Is nothing. This ‘New Food’ is really top-notch!

Oh, Monsieur Robot, please tell the chef
That this – this food is the best!
Yes, sir! (beep-bop) As soon as it’s back from the shop.

Hey, did you ever see how
They grow those headless cows?
You know it’s really just a shame
‘cause there’s those certain times
when I really wouldn’t mind
a big, ol’ steaming plate
of scrambled eggs and artificial brains.
