[Intro]
Em D A7 C x2
 
[Verse 1]
EmI'm starvin', darlin'
DLet me put my lips to something
A7 CLet me wrap my teeth around the world
EmStart carvin', darlin'
DI wanna smell the dinner cooking
A7 CI wanna feel the edges start to burn
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C A7Honey, I wanna race you to the table
Em DIf you hesitate, the gettin' is gone
C A7I won't lie if there's something to be gained
Em DThere's money to be made, whatever's still to come
 
[Chorus]
EmGet some
DPull up the ladder when the flood comes
A7Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
CSeven new ways that you can eat your young
EmCome and get some
DSkinning the children for a war drum
A7Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns
CIt's quicker and easier to eat your young
 
[Post-Chorus Instrumental]
Em D A7 C x2
 
[Verse 2]
EmYou can't buy this fineness
DLet me see the heat get to you
A7 CLet me watch the dressing start to peel
EmIt's a kindness, highness
DCrumbs are not for everyone
A7 COld and young are welcome to the meal
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C A7Honey, I'm makin' sure the table's made
Em DWe can celebrate, the good that we've done
C A7I won't lie if there's something still to take
Em DThere is ground to blame, whatever's still to come
 
[Chorus]
EmGet some
DPull up the ladder when the flood comes
A7Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
CSeven new ways that you can eat your young
EmCome and get some
DSkinning the children for a war drum
A7Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns
CIt's quicker and easier to eat your young
 
[Outro]
Em D A7 C x2
