Lyrics:
I am ravenous, Darling
Let me put my lips to something
Let me wrap my teeth all over the world
Start carving, Darling
I want to smell the supper cooking
I want to feel the edges begin to burn
Honey, I
Want to race you to the table
If you waver
The getting is long past
I will not lie
If there is something to be gained
There’s cash to be made
Whatever’s still to come
Get some
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
Throw enough cord until the legs have swung
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Come and get some
Skinning the kids for a war-drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns;
It is speedier and less difficult to eat your young
You can not purchase this fineness
Let me see the heat get to it
Let me watch the dressing begin to peel
It is a kindliness, Highness
Crumbs enough for every person
Old and young are welcome to the meal
Honey, I’m
Making sure the table’s made
We can celebrate
The good that we have done
I will not lie
If there is something 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 cord until the legs have swung
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Come and get some
Skinning the kids for a war-drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns;
It’s swifter and less complicated to eat your young

Wow, the lyric slaps!
And all of the comments talk about how amazing this song is….
This is what y’all are raising
This song feels like a sister to Dinner and Diatribes in subtler way.
All for money?
I hope you evil ones can buy yourselves out of that when it’s time to pay for your sins
once again he never misses
this is as amazing as expected omg im in love
This reminds me of the portrait of Saturn eating his children with how visceral the phrase “eat your young” evokes the violent imagery
He just does not miss.
Homie done says he gone eat kids like Jozz
I want to listen to songs only like this. Where are they? Any suggestions? ❤
