lyrics

Big fish eats a little fish
and then the bigger fish comes and eats the big fish.
An even bigger one comes along and eats the fish
that ate the fish that ate the fish that came before.

It's the food chain, can't you tell?
It's the food chain, baby.
Might as well just face it. You can't erase it.
It's the food chain.

Who is at the bottom, going all the way down?
Who doesn't need to eat anything?

Nom nom nom nom.

It's the food chain, can't you tell?
It's the food chain, baby.
Might as well just face it. You can't erase it.
It's the food chain.

The bottom of the food chain is at the bottom of the ocean.

Let me see you grovel in the deep,
Have to fight to have a meal,
then get eaten in your sleep.
I don't need to point a finger
but I need to point it out
that for you to stay alive
food is what it's all about.
And you don't need to stuff it in
but you need to eat again
and if it doesn't feel zen
you won't find a way to win.
If it doesn't work for you
then well here's what you do:
Learn to synthesize organic
compounds from the chemicals around you,
from the minerals around you.

Who went hungry, just to make more friends?
We have forgotten all of them.

The food chain, yeah.
