Eat Your Young

I'm starvin', darlin', let me put my lips to somethin'

Let me wrap my teeth around the world

Start carvin', darlin', I want to smell the dinner cookin'

I want to feel the edges start to burn

Honey, I want to 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 is 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

Put in front of 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 dressin' 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

Put in front of the table, sellin' bombs and guns

It's quicker and easier to eat your young
