Still not satisfied

This song discusses supermarket products that we trusted and later turned out to be misleading in their ethical claims. In the end though, it's our own insatiable demand that pushes everything, and we live an illusion. When we shop at the big supermarkets we can hardly expect to be supporting the planet in any way.

Fish
Soya

We bought organic eggs in the interests of the chicken
Better for them and me
So we were shocked when we heard that they were given antibiotics
We stopped when  fed antibiotics for the whole of their lives
But we're still not satisfied

Horizon Dairy was a well-respected brand
And we guzzled down gallons of their milk
Only to hear that they were anything but
Ethical and upstanding guys
We were angry to hear how they meant to misguide
But we're still not satisfied
