Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread right away...

Yeah, I hate the corn growing industry, especially in France where they insist on growing it in areas that are not really suitable for such a crop.

The same here where it is cash crop that needs little maintenance. The corn mostly grown is not fit for human consumption.
