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
