This Body Needs Food

The body needs food     The body needs food
It needs it near        It needs it near
This body needs food    This body needs food
So it can disappear.    So it can disappear.
If not then every little pain
Seems so very near.
If not then it seems like you just really don't care.
Some people need that food,
They need it near.
Some people need it bad,
And they do care.
But some of us have it
In every way.
And when we're not hungry
We throw it all away.
And we do it this way,
We do it every day.
And we do it this way,
We do this every day.
