“Let all the poison that lurks in the mud, hatch out.”

“You gentlemen who think you have a mission
To purge us of the seven deadly sins
Should first sort out the basic food position
Then start your preaching: that's where it begins
You lot, who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
Should learn for once the way the world is run
However much you twist, whatever lies that you tell
Food is the first thing. Morals follow on
So first make sure that those who now are starving
Get proper helpings when we all start carving”
