Let Them Eat Cake

Malvina Reynolds

Let them eat cake
Said Marie Antoinette
So they chopped off her head
Until she was dead
The solution was drastic
The story's fantastic
They talk of it yet

Let them eat cake
So they feed us on cake
It's loaded with sugar
The flavor's a fake
We think we have eaten
They say it's a treat
But when it's all over
Our stomach says, "Buddy, when do we eat!"

Let them eat cake
So they feed us on lies
Icky with color
They dazzle the eyes
They sound and they sound
As though something's been said
But the questions we're asking
Keep rolling around in our head

Let them eat cake
Said Marie Antoinette
So they feed us on twinkies
While they eat the meat
They stuff us with plastic
They tell us it's great
And we gag at the colored pollution
They put on the plate

Let them eat cake
From the frozen food bin
A concoction of nothing
With air beaten in
We eat and are hungry
Their word is a lie
And if we leave their heads on
We'll die
