I took from Laurie some of her lyrics that mostly concerned me, and added a bit of my own in the form of me rapping. Now I'm not a rapper by trade, but I know all about rhythm and writing good literature so I figured I'd give it a shot. I touched on the issue of 'food' being an expert science, and a lot of other sorts of 'expert' advice that is spat out every day, such as advice concerning 'law' and 'children. My lyrics are pretty clear, but I will post below for reference. Enjoy!
---
Only an expert can tell me how to eat
tell me what to buy
tell me where to be
and tell me why
Food is a science not meant for us to know much about
So listen to Jenny Craig, and the folks at Slim Fast
Cuz calories are bad, and fat is evil
I guess that's why all of america's people
are obese and dying, sitting not flying
I guess it's wrong to prepare your own food
Pollen and Berry are just plain rude
to suggest, living on your own is the best
we need experts to feed us each day
cuz slaughtering the innocent is ay-okay
and it's good to eat shit like every single day
let's feed each other remains of our dead
and see just what goes wrong in each of our heads, what?!
I'm sick and tired of being told what to do
Don't tell me why I need to sue
That guy who wrecked my car
cuz he was too far
gone on some drugs he took,
just take a look
it's obvious, i'm not oblivious to the facts at hand
don't you understand
I do what I can
In this free land
I don't need your advice
To raise a child
I could rant for miles and miles
Just let me be what I wanna be
I have two eyes to see
the things around me
I'll get your advice when I need it
I may not necessarily believe it
but that's my choice
I'll raise my voice
So shut your mouth
head down south
and consult the polar bears
on combing their white hairs
Thanks man, that's exactly the sound I was going for!
