Food for Thought

[Verse 1] We set the table and the silverware And all you've got is a hundred-yard stare So look back to me and finish your food With an appetite and some gratitude We set the table and the silverware And gave you those clothes that you don't wanna wear But as long as you plan to stay alive You gotta honor your parents, that's number five [Chorus] Give me all your children And I'll show them how to congregate All we need are mouths to feed So pass around a dinner plate Give me all your money And I'll open up the pearly gates What's food for thought When all you've got is somethin' to regurgitate? [Verse 2] So now that you're taller, and now that you're grown You can build a table all on your own And with whomever you decide to be Make sure she makes you up a family We set you up a resting place And your giant block of marble awaits And we broke you open an ATM But don't get greedy, that's number ten [Chorus] Give me all your children And I'll show them how to congregate All we need are mouths to feed So pass around a dinner plate Give me all your money And I'll open up the pearly gates What's food for thought When all you've got is somethin' to regurgitate? [Bridge] So now that you're taller, now that you're grown You can build a table all on your own And with whomever you decide to be Make sure she makes you up a family We set you up a resting place And your giant block of marble awaits And we broke you open an ATM But don't get greedy, that's number ten [Chorus] Give me all your children And I'll show them how to congregate All we need are mouths to feed So pass around a dinner plate Give me all your money And I'll open up the pearly gates What's food for thought When all you've got is somethin' to regurgitate? [Outro] Give me all your money And I'll open up the pearly gates Give me all your money And I'll open up the pearly gates Give me all your money And I'll open up the pearly gates What's food for thought When all you've got is somethin' to regurgitate?
