The Darn Funk Orchestra - Soul Food Lyrics
Hey Mr Preacher ManCome on and fill us if you canThere's a famine on,Malnutrition's hereWe need some sustenanceCome on and knock us off the fenceWith the bread of lifeWe need soul foolYou've been playing with your words just like you're playing with my dinnerKnowledge puffs up but love it boules upSo feed the crowds. We're getting thinnerWe don't need no added sugar, e-numbers or flash vocabularySometimes it's sour but I've got to taste that powerHitting me with vitamin CHey mr preacher manCome on and feed us if you canThere's a famine onMalnutrition's hereWe need some root vegLeviticus, numbers and the restPlate up the mannaWe need soul foodSo get your roots below the surface. Come drench your mind in waters deepYou can bring up more than dried old figs. Just let your fruit be ripe andJuicySo take us to the future banquet, to the feast that will never decomposeCos' we are able to get more than crumbs from your tableDon't need no yeast to make it growGive it to me fresh. Give it to me cooked.Give it to me straight out of the book x 4Spoon feeding feeds no contemplation'cos we don't fast our fast food but quickly fill you with frustrationI'm gonna have to wait if i don't want mono saturates'Cos I'm gorged on comfort informationMaybe we've got the children's menuReady for milk not solid foodThere's got to be a way to get our RDASo won't you teach us how to chewDoes not the ear taste the words and the tongue tastes the food?I'm sorry preacher man. You only feed us what you can!Hey Mr Preacher man. Don't really think I understandJust a few bread rolls and some mackerelJust watch it multiply, your cake can wait another nightThere's a famine on we need soul food
