Soylent Green is Me!

Riverdancer eat your heart out
Or I'll eat your fucking heart out!
'Cuz I'm feeling not too smart how
     I've been switching really fast--

--Between the glasses I'm always wearing
Alternately shit- and rose-colored lenses
Now mending fences ain't so easy--
--When your stomach turns to jelly
And you keep thinking
     that this shit's hellish and it won't stop

So don't stop
Just dress me down--
--and then upbraid me
I won't ask you to unhand me
Feel free
     to just consume me--I'm Soylent Green

When you're through,
Just toss the bones--
--in a corner neatly
You can even remain seated
I hope
     You enjoy eating. I'm Soylent Green.

Paranoia's got me drinking
And that always keeps me thinking
How I'll ever keep on going
     If I can't escape my skin

For the remarks that I keep on speaking
To silent pauses that you keep revealing
I tried appealling
But no damn good--
--When your stomach turns to iron
From fighting lions
     'cuz this is hellish and it won't stop

So don't stop
Just boil me up--
--until you plate me
Don't expect your hand to spare me
I say
     Enjoy your meal, now, I'm Soylent Green.

When you're through
Just clear your plates--
--and fill a wine glass
Hope you feel content and it lasts
Feel free
     To just consume me--I'm Soylent Green.
