about

The second song is called Fat Sam Wonder and it's about a boy who is fat shamed by well meaning individuals hoping that he exercises. Instead this constant shaming has the opposite effect.

lyrics

There was a fat little boy
With his headphones on
He was staring at the world
With his eyes closed
It seemed like life
Had taken its toll
And the boy
He had no place to go

His name was
Fat Sam Wonder
Fat Sam the great
The young boy wondered
Why he got so much hate

But when the man looked at him
He didn't like what he saw

Fat Sam wonder Couldn't die at 33
No his cause of death couldn't be obesity

The man said

There's a lot of little people
Lot of silly people
And they die real small
And they die real fast
Fat Sam had no right in the world
To take his life away so fast

So the world they pointed fingers
They listened to the man
Society the deity of morality said
You've gotta make a plan

He said

You look so thin
You look so weak
You really look like you could use something to eat


There was a fat little boy
With his headphones on
He was staring at the world
With his eyes closed
By now the voices had taken their toll
Had taken its toll
And the boy
He lost all control

They called him
Fat sam the blunder
Fat Sam the weak
The young boy surrendered
The stress made him eat
