'I\'m singing a song David Peetz and I wrote together over a bottle of wine a few years ago! Encore performance at the 2012 National Folk Festival in Canberra ACT Australia. Footage taken by the lovely, thoughtful Bob Wilson. Lyrics: Gene modified food by Jenny Fitzgibbon and David Peetz to the tune of Food Glorious Food from the musical \"Oliver Twist\" Gene modified food, Fish genes in tomAYto Bits of chromosome stewed, bacon in your potato Chickens that are featherless, What next is the question Gene cocktails are giving us, indigestion Gene modified food, we\'re anxious not to try it Unlabelled it could intrude, unwelcome into our diet Just picture a FREAK mistake in your pie or stew, Oh, food, what\'s in that food Gene altered food, modified food Gene modified food to make it look handsome Corporations accrued, a king\'s ransom What is the result of this hidden revolution Skipping a few millenia of evolution! Gene modified food, NO THANKS why won\'t they heed us Has safety been proved? Tell us what you feed us What was that sound I heard? a green lettuce that mooed Oh food, what\'s in that food it\'s twisted and screwed and genetically brewed, With extra bits glued Now I\'m not a prude or mean to be rude or get myself sued But listen up dude I just want my food Wholesome and crude From the earth where it grewed tradition renewed, un-modified FOOD'
