Lyrics
Sugar and grease, sugar and grease
We?re slugging that fast food down and becoming obese
Sugar and grease, sugar and grease
If we don?t stop eating that crap we?re gonna be deceased
We love those burgers and those greasy deep fat fries
And we get twice as much when we say ?supersize?
We keep on loading up until we get our fill
Sugar doesn?t get you then the carbos surely will
Our kids spend all their lives in front of the TV
And they keep growing till they?re big as Mister T
It stands to reason then our kids are getting fat
And it?s just the fast food chains who benefit from that
Big corporations look for profits they can boast
But it?s the poorest kids who seem to eat the most
Raised on a diet that?s as lousy as it gets
They might as well be selling these kids booze and cigarettes
