Dinner Time
Stand High Patrol Lyrics

I'm a hedonist
I am someone who seeks pleasure and enjoyment in life

I love the good food
I enjoy delicious and high-quality food

I'm in a good mood
I feel happy and content

Everything is cool
Everything is going well

Sunday morning I put on my jacket
On a Sunday morning, I dress up to go out

Where are you going? to the market!
Someone asks me where I am going, and I tell them I am going to the market

Bring back good food is the target
My goal is to bring back high-quality food from the market

Fresh vegetables in the basket
I put fresh vegetables in my basket while shopping

Chop that, cook that in the Hot pan
After shopping, I chop vegetables and cook them in a hot pan

Corkscrew open a bottle of wine
I open a bottle of wine using a corkscrew

Smell that, huum, having a good time
I enjoy the aroma of the food I'm cooking, and it adds to my enjoyment of the experience

Good for the belly, everything is fine
The food I'm cooking is good for my digestion, and I'm feeling good about everything

Your stomach acts like a second brain
The stomach has a complex nervous system that can influence mood and emotions

Did you know that? this is insane
This fact about the stomach acting like a second brain is incredible

Bacteria controls your mind
The gut microbiome can influence mood and behavior

What you eat influences your mood
The food you eat can affect your emotional state

So open, a recipes book!
I suggest opening a cookbook to find new recipes to try

Choose one page and start to cook
Pick a recipe from the cookbook and begin cooking it

Fresh fish, from the Hot nook brook
One suggested dish is fresh fish from a nearby creek

Cooking by crook or by Hook
I will cook with whatever means necessary

I remember back in the days the taste of tomatoes
I recall the taste of tomatoes from past times

Now it tastes like shit full of GMOs
Modern tomatoes don't taste good to me because they are full of genetically modified organisms

Same peas same beans same potatoes
Many foods these days taste the same due to monoculture practices

Same plants same seeds yes shit grows
These similar plants and seeds are yielding uninteresting results

Everywhere in the world it's the same shit
This situation is ubiquitous across the world

1000s of chickens in a dark shed
There are many chickens in a poorly-lit shed

I'm feeling sick I lost my appetite, I'm not hungry anymore
The state of modern food production is making me feel ill and I don't want to eat anymore

Local products
I prefer to use locally sourced products

Home-grown products
I appreciate using products grown at home

I like to know where the food comes from
It's important to me to know the origins of my food

I like to support the people I know
I enjoy supporting the local farmers and merchants I am familiar with

My good friend Jack is a champion cook
My good friend Jack is an excellent cook

Big up! big up! to my good friend Jack
I give praise and recognition to my good friend Jack

My brother Tony is a market gardener
My brother Tony grows produce that he sells at the market

Shout! Shout! to my brother Tonio
I enthusiastically recognize my brother Tonio's work as a gardener

If you cook listening that tune to the radio
I suggest listening to this song while cooking

Big up! Big up!
Praise and recognition for the music and experience being enjoyed

I'm not hungry anymore
The current state of food production is taking away my appetite
