GMO Oh No

Lyrics

There's a car honking at the giant tomato standing in the way
On it's genetically modified feet
If the tomato had eyes or basic directional skills, maybe it could get away
Instead it is merely a roadblock on the street

What is a tomato without a GPS?
A little lost
GMOs are not enough
They clearly need other abbreviations
What is this world, so genetically modified
And yet still lacking directions?

There's always time to change, no matter how weird or strange
We can still develop the tomato range, there is still hope
Though it feels like we're running out of thyme, the basil will do just fine
As we make our tomato brine, a good spaghetti will help us cope

What is a tomato without a GPS?
A little lost
GMOs are not enough
They clearly need other abbreviations
What is this world, so genetically modified
And yet, and yet still lacking directions?
Directions oh

What is a tomato without a GPS? Oh
A little lost
GMOs are not enough
They clearly need other abbreviations
What is this world, so genetically modified
And yet still lacking directions?
Directions oh

Genetically modified
It gets you terrified
Simply cannot decide
If it should be sauced or fried

The car loses its patience, it rams into the tomato
Now there's lasagne on the road
But it's bland, so bland, thanks to the GMO, the GMO

Yes, yes I am loving it.

This is hilariously random, and the delivery is amazing. Gotta love a heartfelt rendition of nonsense. The "lacking directions" is clearly making fun of all the songs about being lost in a more metaphorical sense, and I am here for this. Fun stuff!

I love that you wrote together with your Twitch community! The resulting story is wild, but you manage to sing it so earnestly that I am not sure whether to laugh or not. I love your side-eye at the end of the video, haha.
