lyrics

Come gather round you people
Let me tell you a story please
It’s a kind of a tragedy
Starring
Bread meat and cheese

Born into a war
1944
Underground
And awful sounds
And all his parents dreamt about was

Bread meat and cheese
Going into their bodies
They were upon their knees
For a little bit of
Bread meat and cheese

Our boy was feeling great
Around 1968
The food was plenty
The women were many
And every night was a royal feast of

Bread meat and cheese
Going into their bodies
No fruits or vitamin D
Just a whole lot of
Bread meat and cheese

Our boy left Saigon alive
Around 1975
He started to climb
He had less free time
His cooking turned into reheating

Bread meat and cheese
Yeah he rolled his eyes at beans
He got plenty of proteins
From his
Bread meat and cheese

Our boy couldn’t tie his shoes
By 1992
He’d leave work hungry
Then use his money
To drive up to the counter and buy

Bread meat and cheese
Yeah I’ll take fries with that please
Go ahead and supersize me
Gimme gimme my
Bread meat and cheese

Our boy was up in heaven
By 1997
His family cried
And they asked “Lord why?!”
Then celebrated his life by eating

Bread meat and cheese
Clogged his arteries
Gave him diabetes
Gimme gimme my
Bread meat and cheese

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
Gimme my bread meat and cheese
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
Gimme my bread meat and cheese

about

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen.
