Silver Spoon

Throw down all your
Silver spoons
Eat all of the raw meat
With your hands

Pick it up piece by piece
Pick it up piece by piece
Pick it up piece by piece

Where are the bodies for dinner?
I want my food

What if you were starving to death
And the only food you had was me
What would you say to the cannibal question
Would your answer be perfectly free?

My old mama told you never to eat your friends
With your fingers and hands
But I say you ought to eat what you will
Shove it in your mouth any way that you can

You think that I will come to your mouth
Looking for a home
But I get stuck sideways in your throat
Like a good old chicken bone

Where are the bodies for dinner?
I want my food!

Stay out the kitchen, children
The cook is cleaning his gun
He just got back from the open market
Shooting his food on the run

My old mama told you never to eat your friends
With your fingers and hands
But I say you ought to eat what you will
Shove it in your mouth any way that you can

Sharpen your teeth for the family feast
Let all the hungry drool roll down your chin
Hide the human and bring out the beast
Let all the animal games begin

Where, a-where are the bodies for dinner?
I want my food!

You could learn to dine on your friends
Pour their bones into a cannibal soup
Muscles like steak and blood like wine
Save the brains to feed to troops

Hey, your mama told you never to eat your friends
With your fingers and hands
But I say you ought to eat what you will
Shove it in your mouth any way that you can

Scarlet juices oozing slow
Boiling in a human sea
Is it human dinner you're talking about?
Then slice me tender raw and lean

Where, where are the bodies for dinner?
I want my food!

Oily fingers can hardly wait
Bodies slumped, face in plate
Wake up the drunks, the coffers on
The 14th course has come and gone

Why so long
All day sucker
I want your candy
Your candy has come and gone
And it's left you with your mouth wide open
Just humming
Cannibal songs
Cannibal songs
