Eat Your Young Lyrics

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