AMERICAN FAST FOOD
Words and Music by
Randy Stonehill

American fast food, what a
stupid way to die
American fast food, order me the
jumbo fries
Oh, oh, it's easy
It's so easy and it's trouble free
It's quite and disposable, just
like me
If I don't stop eating this greasey
American fast food

Well, we're undernourished, but
we're overfed
And we're munching on the
burger with the whitebread
And we're sucking up the sugar in
a milkshake
Till we slip into depression with a
big headache
And our arteries are crying out,
"give us a break"

American fast food, what a
stupid way to die
American fast food, you kiss your
old age goodbye
Oh, oh, it's easy
It's so easy and it's trouble free
It's quick and disposable, just
like me
If I don't stop eating this greasey
American fast food

You won't have to embalm me
when my life is through
There are so many preservatives
in what I eat
The job's being done right now
for you

"Can I take you order, please?"
"A cheeseburger, fries, and a big
chocolate malted"

It's prefab junk at an exorbitant
price
And it's bound to make you
nauseous if you look at it twice
But they're selling you by telling
you it's food that's fun
When it tastes like cardboard
It chews like sponge
'cause it's really only garbage on
a sesame bun

American fast food, what a
stupid way to die
American fast food, order me the
chili-size
Oh, oh, it's easy
It's so easy and it's trouble free
It's quick and disposable, just
like me
If I don't stop eating this greasey
American
I don't stop eating this greasey
American fast food
