Eat Your Young

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 Break] [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 Outro]
