lyrics

Mama why they throwing out food?
Mama why they throwing out food?
It’s a thing called supply and demand
If there’s too much supply then the price goes down

Mama why they throwing out food?
Mama why they throwing out food?
The shareholders need their shares to go up
That’s just the rules of the game and they don’t think about us

Mama why they throwing out food?
Mama why they throwing out food?

Im just a child don’t understand economics
But whatever happened to being good to one another?
I’m just a child but I work seven days a week
But through virtue of my birthplace I aint got nothing to eat

Mama why they throwing out food?
Mama why they throwing out food?
It’s a thing called the use by date
And if the use by date expires then the food goes bad

Mama how can food be bad?
Mama how can food be bad?
If the produce doesn’t look quite right
Then the shops cannot sell it so they throw it out

Mama why they throwing out food?
Mama why they throwing out food?

Im just a child don’t understand economics
But whatever happened to being good to one another?
I’m just a child but I work seven days a week
But through virtue of my birthplace I aint got nothing to eat
