MTV Toxic Food Chain Blues

Walk softly

The floor's unstable

We've been polishing with uranium

And the slightest hard blow

Will send the ceiling

Spiraling in



The air is thick with unchained energy

So don't sneeze

Or you'll regret the day you crawled

From the sunlit sea



Have care

The air isn't your friend

It lies and says

Trust me, I'm safe to breathe

And I'll send you to Nirvana



An industrial hell is underfoot

Toxins and molten sludge

Float small islands to tread upon



Smile all the time

Or our video cameras will record your frown

For posterity



And never ever shoot spitballs at the sun

Lest it explode

And the flowers all die



Surfing is still noble

But wear a body condom

Because the waves want to infect

Your body with fatal excitement

And a heady immortality



Whatever you do don't have sex

Because as Barbara Bush says

Sex is death



Beware, of the food chain

Will swallow you whole
