Cannibals

[Verse 1] Running to the show, all laughs and afterglow No time to see the menu You stop me at the door waving some brochure I say, "Son, this is not the venue" [Verse 2] Arrogant and armed, but nobody's alarmed In fact, it's hard to take you seriously One innocent suggestion, a couple cordial questions And you hush up mysteriously [Refrain] Remember candor and compassion? Today, anomie is the trend and folly is the fashion [Verse 3] You hit it, you quit it, but we all know you did it You blame it all on astrology But you're no man just 'cause you admit it Your bragging brings no apology [Refrain] You keep treating us like animals But you will eat yourself like cannibals, like cannibals [Verse 4] Making vague threats, dragging wide nets But you're sweatin' whatever your flask contained No sense in your jest, no point in your quest No irony in your gasconade [Refrain] You all chase your tails like animals But you destroy yourselves like cannibals, cannibals
