Food Is The Answer


The one thing I can’t live without isn’t cheesy

Then again it is.

I can tell you life isn’t easy

So then you shouldn’t miss

Out on those awful, funny, typical

Moments that people named after a food.

Because what is life without all

The decadent, tasteful and good

Good, food in the world?

Some may say it would be love,

The day they met “this girl”,

But I daresay for me food is above

All the troubles of this world.

For who can comfort you better?

Who can fill you up again?

I would say ice cream, nutella, and peanut butter

Would help me ease the pain.

Macaroni and Cheese doesn’t call me fat

And tacos don’t judge me about my degree

Doughnuts make me feel good in a way that

No boyfriend could ever do for me.

I know, it’s hard to live in such disgrace,

For society disagrees with my “unhealthy” ways

But it is I that won, I laugh in their face,

You can be upset, I don’t care what you say

Because I’m the one eating a cupcake

With out a care left for me,

While excuses you begin to make

About why you’re trying to be healthy.

So I’m glad that what I can’t live without

Is combined with love and necessity.

I’ll tell anyone, I will shout,

That food is everything I could possibly

Need, without a doubt.

I couldn’t get through each day

Without a snickers in my mouth.

And I think John Lennon would agree

With me when I say that food is the answer

For what other thing could be

The solution to end world hunger

And create world peace?

Because, really Russia is just hangry,

Just hand them a Georgia peach.

People would never get angry

If pizza was free.

And I know you may not agree,

But to feed the body

Is to feed the soul

And what is life to everybody

If we aren't full?

So, I know world says all they need

Is love, and really I would,

But really all I need is to feed

My body the way I think I should.

Oh and it tastes so good.

All I need is food.
