[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm starvin',
darlin'
Let me put my
lips to someth
ing
Let me wrap my
teeth around
the world
Start carvin',
darlin'
I wanna smell
the dinner coo
king
I wanna feel t
he edges start
to burn
[Pre-Chorus]
Honey, I wanna
race you to t
he table
If you hesitat
e, the gettin'
is gone
I won't lie if
there's somet
hing to be gai
ned
There's money
to be made, wh
atever's still
to come
[Chorus]
Get some
Pull up the la
dder when the
flood comes
Throw enough r
ope until the
legs have swun
g
Seven new ways
that you can
eat your young
Come and get s
ome
Skinning the c
hildren for a
war drum
Putting food o
n the table se
lling bombs an
d guns
It's quicker a
nd easier to e
at your young
[Post-Chorus Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
You can't buy

Old and young

Honey, I'm mak

Get some
Pull up the la

Skinning the c

Putting food o
