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
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
