Eat Your Young Letra - Hozier

I'm starvin', darlin'

Let me put my lips to somethin'

Let me wrap my teeth around the world

Start carvin', darlin'

I wanna smell the dinner cookin'

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 somethin' to be gained

There's money to be made, whatever's still to come

Get some

Pull up the ladder when the flood comes

Throw enough rope until the legs have swung

Seven new ways that you can eat your young

Come and get some

Skinnin' the children for a war drum

Puttin' food on the table, sellin' 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 enough 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 somethin' 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 rope until the legs have swung

Seven new ways that you can eat your young

Come and get some

Skinnin' the children for a war drum

Puttin' food on the table sellin' bombs and guns

It's quicker and easier to eat your young
