Das Ingtons - Panic in the City Lyrics

There's a panic in the city, there's a panic in the city
The industry was suffering
There's a panic in the city, there's a panic in the city
Sales figures were plummeting
Just gather the committee, just gather the committee
It's time to make that call
We've known it for years and we're facing our fears
We're heading for a fall

So, the call came in at quarter past ten
It's an emergency meeting for these businessmen
Stop what you're doing, this is life or death
We'll keep this industry alive until our dying breath
So, one by one they all filed in
Giant leaders of companies were gathered within
The figures were in, but then they already knew
But everyone was asking 'What are we going to do?' because...

Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating bread no more
Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating bread no more

Everyone said it was going to be a fight
We need to be strong said the boss of Mighty White
Yeah, Kingsmill and Allison's they all took notes
How would they respond? They took it to the vote
Who was the enemy? How would they fight?
The industry bosses were there all night
Yeah, scratching their heads and using their loaf
Somebody asked 'What about the Best of Both?'
Make slices smaller, someone said. The boss of Warburton's just cut off his head
This was no game, no, this was no joke
The money making machine had already broke
'What about bread that doesn't have any crust?' came a shout from a man you could trust
One thing is for certain, and certain the most
Nobody's eating any bread or any toast

Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating bread no more
Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating bread no more

Why is carbohydrate such a bad word?
Why do I get looks in Costa when I'm eating toast?
Why?

Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating bread no more
Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating bread no more
Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating bread no more
Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating. Nobody's eating bread no more
