REAL SUGAR

REAL SUGAR
f.t.talton/Corrina Jo Music/ASCAP

Sittin’ here thinkin’, what should I eat?
What should I put on my plate?
Is that paradoxine hydrochloride
or is it mononitrate?

I can’t believe what I read at the grocery store
I can’t pronounce the words on the label
Nobody knows when the real thing changed
But, I won’t stand for that stuff on my table

I want real sugar, I don’t want none of that other
I want real bread with real butter
Sho nuff stuff, no messin’ round
I don’t want my real world watered down

Help me understand, help me make some sense of it
My head is shaking and it’s starting to ache
My eyes are burning, there’s ringing in my ears
I won’t eat nothin’ that lasts a hundred years

I want real sugar, I don’t want none of that other
I want real bread with real butter
Sho nuff stuff, no messin’ round
I don’t want my real world watered down

What should I, what can I, what will I eat?
The list gets shorter every day, every week
High fructose corn syrup, yellow #5
Polysorbate 60, genetically modified
I want real sugar, I…sugar,
Unadulterated, granulated sugar
