Innocence, smiles in the playground
|
As a grey man, touches her hair
|
"Sweets for a pretty girl ?"
|
But she's not such a silly girl
|
As she slaps the hand away
|
|
Poison on my plate, so hungry I ate
|
Poison on my plate, so hungry
|
I feel, the steel, inside
|
Our mouths open wide
|
We sharpen our teeth, and flexing our jaws
|
We bite the hand that feed us
|
|
He grows to be big and strong
|
Eats the vegetables, joins their family
|
The ignorance he found
|
Helps the medicine go down
|
Helps the stale untruths taste nicer
|
|
Poison on my plate, so hungry I ate
|
Poison on my plate, so hungry
|
The lies, disguise wears thin
|
The fasting begins
|
The scraping of chairs, cutlery screams
|
When may we leave the table ?
|
