Dirty Cannibals

Look at em' Dirty little cannibals Gnawing at the brain Pinching nerves off, only to digest humanity Such a bitter taste it leaves Almost as bitter as the cannibals themselves Long jagged fingernails Excellent for finger pointing And eye gouging Their breathing is loud anxious and ragged Almost like they know the moment of blame is ending And yet everyday we watch them munch with delight The hearts and souls of the bodies that walk this Earth Dining everynight with silver-lined silverware Extravagant table clothes spun of the finest silk drama Tea cups that are still grainy at the bottom Only with the truth Dirty Little Cannibals Devouring our homes Snacking on our potential Leaving us with empty stomachs And burnt souls Cooked too well to perfection Dirtly Little Cannibals Always biting the meat of our society Leaving us with no substance
