Eat Your Young Song Lyrics by Hozier
I’m starving, darlingLet me put my lips to somethingLet me wrap my teeth around the worldStart carving, darlingI wanna smell the dinner cookingI wanna feel the edges start to burn
Honey, I wanna race you to the tableIf you hesitate, the getting is goneI won’t lie, if there’s something to be gainedThere’s money to be made, whatever’s still to come
Get somePull up the ladder when the flood comesThrow enough rope until the legs have swungSeven new ways that you can eat your youngCome and get someSkinning the children for a war drumPutting food on the table selling bombs and gunsIt’s quicker and easier to eat your young
You can’t buy this finenessLet me see the heat get to itLet me watch the dressing start to peelIt’s a kindness, HighnessCrumbs enough for everyoneOld and young are welcome to the meal
Honey, I’m making sure the table’s madeWe can celebrate the good that we’ve doneI won’t lie, if there’s something still to takeThere is ground to break, whatever’s still to come
Get somePull up the ladder when the flood comesThrow enough rope until the legs have swungSeven new ways that you can eat your youngCome and get someSkinning the children for a war drumPutting food on the table selling bombs and gunsIt’s quicker and easier to eat your young
