This song is based off the life of historical figure King Louis IX of France (April 25, 1214 – August 25, 1270) and the city named after him.
lyrics
This city is an island
Maybe even Gulliver's Island
The lost floating city of Laputa.
European Americans served by African Americans.
All for the sake of fast cheeseburgers
With ketchup, mustard, onions and pickles,
Greasy piles of detached flesh.
Sacrificed for our convenience,
Well isn't that just too convenient.
"Would you like fries with that"
Sung to the tune of ten thousand spirituals,
Nothing has really changed,
Old sins have new names.
What's the difference between harvesting meat and mos teutonicus
When fat and bone could feed the serfs?
A new addition to the dollar menu.
A real saint wouldn't mind feeding the children personal flesh.
