The Kinks - Maximum Consumption lyrics
Your rating:
I’ll have some clam chowder, followed by beef steak on ryePumpkin pie, whipped cream and coffee,I wanna green salad on the side,Don’t forget the french fries,Pizza pie, garlic and anchovie.I keep burning up calories as fast as I keep putting them down,Eat food, put it in my mouth,Chew it up, swallow it down,I’ll have two eggs, over light, home made apple pieCole slaw as a side order.I gotta stay fit, stay alive, eat food to sustain a non-stop high-grade performer.The pace is continual, sure keeps running me downDon’t you know that you gotta eat food,Don’t you know that you gotta refuel.I’m a maximum consumption, super-grade performer.High powered machine,Go steady on my clutch, go easy on the hillsAnd you’ll get a lot of mileage out of me.I’m so easy to drive, and I’m an excellent ride,Excessive living sure keeps running me downYou’ve got to learn to use the maximum juiceThat’s how you get the maximum use.Life keeps using me, keeps on abusing me, mentally and physically.I gotta stay fit, stay alive, need fuel inside, eat food to surviveMaximum consumption sure keeps running me downDon’t you know that you gotta eat foodDon’t you know that it’s good for you.I’m a maximum consumption,Non-stop machineTotal automation perpetual motion.
