The food industry advertises,

"Buy my food! It tastes so good!

It'll make you strong!"

But if you eat it,

You'll be hungry all day long for more,

Because the additives and preservatives 

They stirred in are addictive,

And they want you at the store,

Buying their products over and over.

The beauty industry teases you

With how much prettier you could be.

It says, "Buy my creams and lotions!"

They're "magic potions" that you buy by the ounce,

But filled with chemicals you cannot pronounce.

And they'll soak into your bones

And take your natural tones and make them blue,

Until you'll need the healthcare industry, too.

The music industry says,

"Buy my tape, my album, my cd!

Like me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram!

But they don't give a damn

About a song that Redbirds sang

While wind chimes chimed.

And I'm right here.

And I don't want anything

From anybody.

I just want to sing for you

The love I felt going through me

While the wind blew.

I want to give that love to you

In a lovesong,

For free.
