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
