   Em
I'm starvin', darlin'
 D
Let me put my lips to something
A7                C
Let me wrap my teeth around the world
    Em
Start carvin', darlin'

I wanna smell the dinner cooking
  A7              C
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 something to be gained
     Em          D
There's money to be made, whatever's still to come

Em
Get some
               D
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes

Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
               C
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
     Em
Come and get some
               D
Skinning the children for a war drum
                  A7
Putting food on the table selling 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 dressing start to peel

It's a kindness, highness

Crumbs are not 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 something still to take
 Em              D
There is ground to blame, whatever's still to come
