Pizza Resistance https://totallygourdgeous.bandcamp.com/track/pizza-resistance This song is for a restaurant I've long visualised An imaginary franchise for the disenfranchised A fictional kitchen, which for globally famed Fearless leaders of love it is nobly named In these slices of life, find kindness entwined Like "Like Water for Chocolate", through the stomach to the mind [Chorus...] Come eat at the Pizza Resistance Comida la peaceful persistence Non violent people's revolution, spins round your platter Revering the kinder heros who really matter First up, a la carte, we have the Dalai Lama - One with everything, the supreme karma farmer Then the Nelson Mandela our top seller, it'll govern your taste buds but takes a long time in the oven Then the Martin Luther King, aka MLK, Mushroom, Lettuce and Kale, s'il vous plait, right away Like the Josephine Baker cake when just desserts, unsegregated flavours a swirl of banana exerts Unless French dressing disconcerts. [Chorus...] ...who truly matter Fine dining combining a reminder call with a comestible that's the best of all Celebration! It's a festival! And salivation! It's delectable! Salutation of salvation through satiation Up next on the specials is the Corazon Aquino, the Manila folded pizza or Calzone Philipino Then the Ken Saro Wiwa's Nigerian effect, with no oil or shellfish, out of respect Then the Julian Assange features leeks of course, a taste of Ecuador with a secret sauce Then the Ghandi knocks your socks off, but not so hot that it's untouchable. It's fast food and yet it's not. Pass the salt... make it one with the lot. Wot ya got! But in each case, each great tasty topping Needs a supportive base to stop it flopping Hours of grind for fine flours wholegrained and seeded Growing rolls are heeded when dough is kneaded The heat entreats yeast increased in size The trusted crust and the faithful rise [Chorus...] ...who really truly matter Fine dining combining a reminder call with a comestible that's the best of all Celebration! It's a festival! And salivation! It's delectable! Salutation of salvation through satiation And guaranteed the ingredients of every morsel in our range is organically and ethically sourced and, of course It's a given that the menu is subject to change, as the women and men who inspired it desired it So we wood fired it! 'Cos with a jukebox stocked with Bob Marley and John Lennon And bookshelf stacked with Gene Sharp, Tolstoy and Thoreau Extend the menu beyond the venue to fond defenders of our rights That maybe you don't know you don't know Like the Cesar Chavez if farm fresh is what you seek Or for greens, the Bob Brown is mild, but never meek Take a seat, try the Rosa Parks, the Alice Paul And the Nobel Women's Initiative pizza. Try 'em all! Then the Lauaki Namulau'ulu Mamoe's A long way from the flavour of the Lech Wałęsa Then the Vaclav Havel, the Gbowee, the Tohu Kākahi, The Te Whiti o Rongomai, the Desmond Tutu Phew! And maybe even you too! [Chorus...] ...who really truly matter Fine dining combining a reminder call with a comestible that's the best of all Celebration! It's a festival! And salivation! It's delectable! Salutation of salvation through satiation ©Mal Webb 2017 Then some stilton with saffron to taste Burmese. Whose pizza could that be? It's Aung San Suu Kyi's... with genocidal sympathies, get her off the menu please!
