Naked Lunch Lyrics

William S. Burroughs garnered the title "Naked Lunch" from Jack Kerouac (I understand that it's spelled wrong, but no one is allowed to chastize me lest they have read three pieces of his work) who said it referred to that moment when the piece of food was on your fork, right about to enter your mouth, and you fully comprehend and truly SEE what you're about to ingest, it's a moment of realization and truth.

In this the nakes lunch is a realization of being a hypocrite, but at the same time willingly ingesting this bit of news and simply ignoring it with the use of "bug powder" (a reference the the Cronenberg movie of the same name).
