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?
