[Battlefield/ExpresswayMedley.mp3]
BATTLEFIELD OF MY BODY
A company of Potato chip soldiers
March down the streets of my throat
They leave the marble statues of teeth to rot
While the cookie castles crumble in the moat
In the Battlefield of my body
The Food War rages on
Althoughg the enemy is starving
The war cannot be won
An offensive of submarine sandwhiches
Is causing my stomach to enlarge
There'll be no need for Life Savers
After launching an anti-acid depth charge
An incursion of the cigarette Air Force
Is blowing smoke rings into my lungs
Meanwhile young smokers are being recruited
With "Cancer" on the tip of their tongues
The ingredients listed on this candy bar
Reveal that chemical warfare is back
No purple hearts will be issued
For food poisoning and massive Heart Attacks
