Starting the Revolution with a Spoon
Gabriel Duncan

they want to put me in jail
I fed the wrong bum
they want to lock me up
'cause I didn't turn tail and run

rolling up with blankets and muffins
got my cousins on my side
handing out rations by the dozens
as we pull up to provide

I'm blatant with my conscious
an injuction couldn't stop me
it's my mission one day
to feed the end of hungry

in a land where our corn
could feed an entire world
but we're too busy giving
diabetes to boys and girls

what's wrong with this picture
I'm getting cuffed for making change
it's illegal to feed the homeless
is this world deranged

you can keep me for the 48
I'll be back here next week
except this time my people
will make sure you never touch me

maybe you haven't got it yet
that these people are innocents and vets
yeah some of them are crazy
and some are even lazy
but when did that give you reason to jet

this country's missing something
fell between the line
when economic progress
was progess defined

holding gauze to a bleeding heart
I'm never gonna stop
unload it all before you start
feed the whole fucking block

so roll on us
cuff us and lock us in
just try and stop us
we'll be back there again

people need food
and we need a little change
there's nothing you can do
short of spraying our brain

once the rain comes
we'll be out here again
disassembling the blight
our leaders lie to contain

could scream all I want
but it won't do the trick
it's the food and shelter they want
that's how we end it

with just a little food
start the revolution with a spoon
