LYRICS: Hozier – Eat Your Young

DOWNLOAD MP3 Songs

[Verse 1]

I’m starvin’, darlin’

Let me put my lips to something

Let me wrap my teeth around the world

Start carvin’, darlin’

I wanna smell the dinner cooking

I wanna feel the edges start to burn

[Pre-Chorus]

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

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

[Chorus]

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

Skinning the children for a war drum

Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns

It’s quicker and easier to eat your young

[Post-Chorus Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

There is ground to break, whatever’s still to come

[Chorus]

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

Skinning the children for a war drum

Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns

It’s quicker and easier to eat your young
