lyrics

Food on the table again, You’ve hunted days on end

It's gonna last you a long time,
There's meat on the hook, blood on the line..

Hang your game up high, Time makes it tender and tight

The day is coming, but you don’t see,
No meal is enough, or so it seems

Even God won't forgive all your sins,
In this cruel quarters where nobody wins,
You get war when you want peace,
It's a blood feast and, nobody wins,

Talk to the wigs and the suits,
They're like locusts, they'll eat us down to our boots.

There's no ending where you don't scream,
No meal is enough or so it seems.

Even God won't forgive all your sins,
In this cruel quarters where nobody wins,
You get war when you want peace,
It's a blood feast and, nobody wins,

Oh lets hunt them down, fleece them one by one, kill their pride as they sing - nobody wins
