dear readers and listeners.<\/p>\n
i have recently seen a few reviews which have misinterpreted the lyrics to my song human eyeballs on toast<\/em>, which was released on my latest mini-album how they are<\/em>, and i felt compelled to explain the text to prevent any more misunderstanding. in order for this song to make sense, you have to imagine that i am a chicken. more specifically, a chicken in a factory farm, being raised for consumption by humans. when i wrote this song, i had just finished reading the book eating animals<\/em> by jonathan safran foer. this brave and wildly informational book stirred up so many things inside me, when i sat down at the piano to write vocals over the top of this piano melody, i imagined myself as a chicken and these words just came out.<\/p>\n let it be known that i personally have no desire to put a man’s face in a frying pan, nor do i wish to end my own life. but if i were to trade places with one of these poor creatures, i’m quite sure i’d have every reason to despise the human race as a whole. i find the animal agriculture industry (especially in the usa) to be deeply, deeply disturbing and incredibly sad, and this song is a product of of that sadness.<\/p>\n ———-<\/p>\n HUMAN EYEBALLS ON TOAST<\/p>\n feathers and a cage too small all my friends look the same artificial sunlight here so every time i see a man but when they seared off my beak and if i had a bigger brain i’d surely find a way but that might be the only part of my body dear readers and listeners. i have recently seen a few reviews which have misinterpreted the lyrics to my song human eyeballs on toast, which was released on my latest mini-albumRead more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=101"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peterbroderick.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nchemicals that make us tall too fast
\ntoo fast<\/p>\n
\nall of us feel the same pain
\nalways pain<\/p>\n
\nperfectly calibrated year
\nand it feels wrong<\/p>\n
\ni dream about his face in a frying pan
\nhuman eyeballs on toast<\/p>\n
\ni realized just how weak we are
\nwe are<\/p>\n
\nto take my own life
\ni’d end it all right here before my meat is how they want it
\nmmmmmmmmmmmmmm<\/p>\n
\nthat you haven’t tried to change
\nmy altered life is the worst miracle my peanut can’t imagine
\nmmmmhhhmmmmmmmm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
