Beetroot to Rock You
Rock n roll beetroot
From roots to the core
I’ll send a shiver
Down your spine
Oh baby give me some time
I’ll give you red fever
My beats will rock you sore
So sang the underground crowd
The chorus to a tune too good
The beetroot is a sworn rock god
Screaming truths about farmed food
How pesticides destroy the gut
His potent bridge brings up the mood
Life is very short, there’s no time
To speed your body past its prime
Listen, I’ll only give this one rhyme
Buy organic, and buy more time
A virtuous virtuoso drops the mic, and
The world turns against the filth
A clean musician, what’s not to like?
An honest veg always spills the truth
