[Verse 1]
E
Let them eat cake,
B
Said Marie Antoinette.
So they chopped off her head
E
Until she was dead.
E
The solution was drastic,
B
The story's fantastic,
E
They talk of it yet.
[Verse 2]
A
Let them eat cake,
E
So they feed us on cake.
B
It's loaded with sugar,
E
The flavor's a fake.
A
We think we have eaten,
E
They say it's a treat,
B
But when it's all over
A
Our stomach says, "Buddy, when do we eat!"
[Verse 3]
A
Let them eat cake,
E
So they feed us on lies,
B
Icky with color,
E
They dazzle the eyes.
A
They sound and they sound
E
As though something's been said,
B
But the questions we're asking
E
Keep rolling around in our head.
[Verse 4]
A
Let them eat cake,
E
Said Marie Antoinette,
B
So they feed us on twinkies
E
While they eat the meat,
A
They stuff us with plastic,
E
They tell us it's great,
B
And we gag at the colored pollution
E
They put on the plate.
