My dear old friend, roommate, and Hemingway front man, Benny is the master of curt cold words and gloomy pop songs. But you wouldn’t really know it in this tune. This song is different for him in that it is based on Kyle B Hart’s “The Mustache that Cured World Hunger”, and he’s describing some shenanigans in Tanzania rather than a break-up in the rain. While Hemingway is gaining momentum and notoriety, Benny is making music videos for other bands, writing his infamously chill poetry, and posting pictures of the girl he babysits on instagram.
"it was a cool autumn night,
when the mustache first took flight.
across the world to find some food.
extremely hungry with nothing to lose.
it went to China and Japan.
stopped by France and Pakistan.
collecting food across the globe.
into the night so far from home.
flying high up above the ground.
close to Italy when it heard a sound.
of a grumble couldn't be ignored.
hungry stomachs that needed more.
it knew it just couldn't go back.
this wasn't any ordinary mustache.
it had a plan to help those in need.
bringing food to the hungry.
it was the mustache that chose to care.
feeding the world with plenty to share.
it didn't ask for a thing in return,
just wanted to help the world concern.
about a problem that could easily end
if we only cared as the mustache did.
bringing food where there wasn't enough.
helping people in Tanzania.
stomachs full with plenty to eat.
showing us how the world should be.
it isn't a fairytale or make believe
to say that people still go hungry.
it's easy to just think of ourselves.
and forget those who need our help.
it was the mustache that chose to care.
feeding the world with plenty to share.
it didn't ask for a thing in return,
just wanted to help the world concern.
about a problem that could easily end
if we could only care as the mustache did."
