[Intro]
Gm C G7 G x2
 
[Verse 1]
GmI'm starvin', darlin'
CLet me put my lips to something
G7 GLet me wrap my teeth around the world
GmStart carvin', darlin'
CI wanna smell the dinner cooking
G7 GI wanna feel the edges start to burn
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G G7Honey, I wanna race you to the table
Gm CIf you hesitate, the gettin' is gone
G G7I won't lie if there's something to be gained
Gm CThere's money to be made, whatever's still to come
 
[Chorus]
GmGet some
CPull up the ladder when the flood comes
G7Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
GSeven new ways that you can eat your young
GmCome and get some
CSkinning the children for a war drum
G7Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns
GIt's quicker and easier to eat your young
 
[Post-Chorus Instrumental]
Gm C G7 G x2
 
[Verse 2]
GmYou can't buy this fineness
CLet me see the heat get to you
G7 GLet me watch the dressing start to peel
GmIt's a kindness, highness
CCrumbs are not for everyone
G7 GOld and young are welcome to the meal
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G G7Honey, I'm makin' sure the table's made
Gm CWe can celebrate, the good that we've done
G G7I won't lie if there's something still to take
Gm CThere is ground to blame, whatever's still to come
 
[Chorus]
GmGet some
CPull up the ladder when the flood comes
G7Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
GSeven new ways that you can eat your young
GmCome and get some
CSkinning the children for a war drum
G7Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns
GIt's quicker and easier to eat your young
 
[Outro]
Gm C G7 G x2
