Further reading: "Breakfast of Champions" by Kurt Vonnegut.

lyrics

This isn't life, am I just a character: another paragraph in your biography? You say I live forever on this page, but the book I read was in your eyes. I’m a chemical reaction; I'm a Breakfast of Champions; I’m a spark on a cord and the fire that it sets. I can't take this destructive testing and I won't sleep until I get some answers. I’m a chemical reaction; I'm a Breakfast of Champions; I’m a spark on a cord and the fire that it sets. Why do the birds still sing when they’re afraid? And why is it so hard to leave this cage behind? This idea has just occurred to me, but is it truth or just rotating machinery? So fill your plate. The buffet's open and it's all pre-paid. All that you can eat, and in every form, and you can sure throw it down yourself! Look at you, you're a mess! Do you ever feel it getting stuck? Choking on that chicken wing. And out there somewhere someone is keeping tabs, so look at yourself and clean yourself up. All that you can eat and in every form, and you can sure throw it down yourself! Oh, you're such a mess.
