Lyrics
Eaten
You held her in your arms that night and made your love so sweet,
Drowning in her rich amore, scented flowers at your feet.
As she moaned, your treasure rose, you looked away that one last time,
Cos the truth behind your smile was just to make the next damn dime.
Conditioning pulsed through your body in that night of passion.
Your desire to have a son and heir, the power and the fashion.
Secreted in your chemistry, control and domination,
Eats away at all that’s pure - that’s the real abomination.
You were (UP) eaten up, cast out to use your kin.
You were eaten up, at all costs save your skin.
You were eaten up, taught to make what’s real obscure.
You were eaten up, drenched in the power myth’s allure.
You wedged that silver spoon into my mouth that loveless night.
Your plan for me to tow the line would fill my soul with fright.
Abandoned to your nurse was bad, but, thrown to the corporate wolves
Left me praying for a chance to win, and beat the evil cruel.
What did they do to you?
They taught you how to screw.
No love. No life. No Thanks
So, can your master plan sustain the many not the few?
You talked about the share of wealth but look at what you do.
Pollution, global warming, species die, the seas do rise,
and the corporates just continue to feed the deadly lies.
You were eaten up, cast out to use your kin.
You were eaten up, at all costs save your skin.
You were eaten up, taught to make what’s real obscure.
You were eaten up, drenched in the power myth’s allure.
Do you worry about the future that lies way beyond your nose?
Do you care about your footprint and the way your impact grows?
There’s a pebble in the pond you’ve thrown so many times -
Tsunami it is coming, you were washed away this time.
So, what did they do to you?
They taught you how to screw.
No love. No life. No Thanks
The reason we exist is to clean our planet pure.
We need to learn from greatest minds and sow new seeds for sure!
Prejudice and greed, education at its worst,
Will build up another conflict while the earth screams out in thirst.
Instrumental
Well, you never had a boy that time, you had a girl instead.
A cruel avalanche of snow left your body broken and dead.
If you’ve really gone this time, I’ll tell what I am going to do,
I’ll work with Benjy Cuttle and his beautiful motley crew.
When you sat me on your knee and told me, one day I’d be rich,
Your old school chum the Capo said Frankie “never trust that bitch”.
(Well, that was NICE!)
He was right, you know, coz let me tell you what I’m going to do.
I’ll use our wealth to readdress the balance that is due.
So, what did they do to you?
They taught you how to screw.
No love. No life. No Thanks
Well, he was right you know, coz let me tell you what I’m going to do.
I’m gonna use our wealth to address the balance that is due.
So, what did they do to you?
They taught you how to screw.
No love. No life. No Thanks.
So, what did they do to you?
They taught you how to screw.
No love. No life. No Thanks.
