Introduction
I'm starvin', darlin'
let me put my lips
to something
let me wrap my teeth
around the world
Start carvin', darlin'
I wanna smell
the dinner cookin'
I wanna feel
the edges start to burn
Honey I... wanna
race you to the table
if you hesitate
the gettin' is gone
I won't lie if there's
somethin' to be gained
there's money to be made
whatever's still to come
Get some
pull up the ladder
when the flood comes
Throw enough rope
until the legs have swung
seven new ways that
you can eat your young
Come and get some
skinnin' the children
for a war drum
Puttin' food on the table
sellin' bombs and guns
it's quicker and easier
to eat your young
Instrumental
You can't buy this fineness
let me see
the heat get to you
let me watch the
dressing start to peel
It's a kindness, highness
crumbs enough
for everyone
old and young
are welcome to the meal
Honey I'm makin' sure
the table's made
we can celebrate
the good that we've done
I won't lie
if there's somethin'
still to take
there is ground to break
whatever's still to come
Get some
pull up the ladder
when the flood comes
Throw enough rope
until the legs have swung
seven new ways that
you can eat your young
Come and get some
skinnin' the children
for a war drum
Puttin' food on the table
sellin' bombs and guns
it's quicker and easier
to eat your young
