Story Behind The Song
I was watching TV and every commercial was for beauty products or diet products followed by fast food ads. Every program was about internet predators either perverts, or scams.
Made me think " Are we really progressing as a society, or are we just monkey

Lyrics
Big Fat and Chunky:
Goodbye dear Roosevelt - funny how memory melts
big business runs everything - all 'bout bling bling and cha-ching
All eyes on the future - "lil guy's place is so unsure
marketing nostalgia - hair goop and fitness spa
You can live forever if you take our pill - as long as the side effects don't make you ill...
And we're big fat and chunky - will we all outgrow our country?
Goodbye dear Marilyn - where beauty ends and begins
Slaves to technology - invented to set us free
Selling souls on the internet - buy annonomous with no regret
The Devil's on line if that's your thing - delivered to your door before the phone rings...
And we're big fat and chunky...
