lyrics

I’m on the prowl and on the rise
I’m on the prowl and on the rise
In colorful shrink wrap disguise
Colorful shrink wrap disguise
On the prowl & on the rise

Oh, HFCS
You look so good, I never guessed
Still I say yes
You stimulate and then you depress

Look in the glass before your eyes
Someone is there to your surprise
Someone you thought was safe
Who can lay a body to waste
On the prowl and on the rise

Oh, HFCS
You taste so good, I never guessed
Still I say yes
You stimulate, then we obsess

The bitter truth tastes sweet
It’s stuck between your teeth…
I’m cheap because I’m subsidized
Earl Rusty Butz said I’m authorized
To be on the prowl and on the rise

Oh, HFCS
You look so good, well I never guessed
Still I say yes
You stimulate and then you depress

I’m on the prowl
I’m on the rise
