They Call Me Hunger
Hey! What's a nice girl like you doing in a dump like this, eh
Are you talking to me?
Yes of course to you! Then who! Haha
A white gori girl
In a white gori saari
In a place so dirty
What you doing here, my pretty?
I'm just walking around!
Walking!?
What's your name, mister?
SB: I'm the Slum Bum! But I have many names, Sister
They call me Hunger
And you can no longer
Escape me when I knock on your door
They call me Hunger
I keep get stronger
Much too strong for you to ignore
There was a flood in your village
And your hut was on mortgage
You came up to the city
Expecting a little pity
Now you're out in the street
With nothing to eat
Now you can't find work
Cause you can't find your feet
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha
They call me Despair
And you can only stare
As I strip your heart and soul bare
They call me Despair
You can't hide in there
Eat your nails, tear out your hair
There was a riot in your town
They burnt your house down
They roasted up your mother
And they cut your father down
You lie in the gutter
And you dare not even mutter
Against your crazy fate
And anyway it's too late
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha
They call me Disease
I'm just a big tease
Dropping in out of the blue
They call me Disease
Put yourself at ease
Don't call me... I'll call you
You left your lovely hills
For a promise of thrills
You thought you'd make a living
Turning spinning wheels
You were ten years old
On the day you were sold
Now you're just an old whore
No one buys you no more
So you kidnapped some baby
And you cut off her arms
She's your USP when you beg for alms
You drug her with opium you drug her with booze
She ain't your child - so you've got nothing to lose
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha
They call me Big Pain
I drive you insane
Knocking on your window pane
They call me Big Pain
You shiver in vain
Out there in the icy rain
Are you talking to me?
Yes of course to you! Then who! Haha
A white gori girl
In a white gori saari
In a place so dirty
What you doing here, my pretty?
I'm just walking around!
Walking!?
What's your name, mister?
SB: I'm the Slum Bum! But I have many names, Sister
They call me Hunger
And you can no longer
Escape me when I knock on your door
They call me Hunger
I keep get stronger
Much too strong for you to ignore
There was a flood in your village
And your hut was on mortgage
You came up to the city
Expecting a little pity
Now you're out in the street
With nothing to eat
Now you can't find work
Cause you can't find your feet
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha
They call me Despair
And you can only stare
As I strip your heart and soul bare
They call me Despair
You can't hide in there
Eat your nails, tear out your hair
There was a riot in your town

They roasted up your mother
And they cut your father down

Knocking on your window pane
They call me Big Pain
You shiver in vain
Out there in the icy rain
