We thought it would last forever, not a kink in the endless chain of supplies; Now more than the store shelves are coming up continuously empty; Still the menu is good to change, maybe get out grandma’s old recipe; No amount of money in the world can buy you food that doesn’t exist; We thought it was just gonna go away, the trucks would always deliver more eggs; Then omelettes became a luxury item, ‘Snickers’ were all we could afford or find; Starvation ended with ‘We are the World.’ Western civilization? That’s impossible; North America is flooded with resources; Regrow endless crops on soil rich land; No amount of money in the world can buy you food that doesn’t exist; Bottom of the barrel no trash to steal; Private property gardens, no trespassing; Outlaws armed with skills and dirty hands, Off grid not for sale, can’t steal from them; The wealthy can get whatever they need, or so the one percent always thought; No amount of money in the world can buy you food that doesn’t exist.
