Eat Your Young

I'm starvin', darlin'Let me put my lips to somethingLet me wrap my teeth around the worldStart carvin', darlin'I wanna smell the dinner cookingI wanna feel the edges start to burnHoney, I wanna race you to the tableIf you hesitate, the gettin' is goneI won't lie if there's something to be gainedThere's money to be made, whatever's still to comeGet somePull up the ladder when the flood comesThrow enough rope until the legs have swungSeven new ways that you can eat your youngCome and get someSkinning the children for a war drumPutting food on the table, selling bombs and gunsIt's quicker and easier to eat your youngYou can't buy this finenessLet me see the heat get to youLet me watch the dressing start to peelIt's a kindness, highnessCrumbs enough for everyoneOld and young are welcome to the mealHoney, I'm makin' sure the table's madeWe can celebrate, the good that we've doneI won't lie if there's something still to takeThere is ground to break, whatever's still to comeGet somePull up the ladder when the flood comesThrow enough rope until the legs have swungSeven new ways that you can eat your youngCome and get someSkinning the children for a war drumPutting food on the table selling bombs and gunsIt's quicker and easier to eat your young
