[Verse]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
C A7sus4 A7
Honey, I wanna race you to the table
Em D
If you hesitate, the gettin' is gone
C A7sus4 A7
I won't lie if there's something to be gained
Em D
There's money to be made, whatever's still to come
[Chorus]
Em
Get some
D
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
A7
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
C
It's quicker and easier to eat your young
