Lyrics of Eat Your Young - Bekon's Choral Version by Hozier
verse
Let me put my lips to something
Let me wrap my teeth around the world
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 getting is gone
I won't lie if there′s something to be gained
Whatever is still to come
chorus
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
Skinning the children for a war drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns
It's quicker and easy when I eat your young
verse
You can′t buy this finesse
Let me see the heat get to you
Let me watch the dressing start to peel
Crumbs enough for everyone
Old and young are welcome to the meal
pre-chorus
Honey I wanna race you to the table
If you hesitate, the getting is gone
I won't lie if there′s something to be gained
There is money to be made
chorus
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
Skinning the children for a war drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns
It′s quicker and easy when I eat your young
