lyrics

Whittle whittle worn away
Scratch and scrape - break and fray
Muddled down a shake is made
From the ash of another day

With a pinch of discontent
Sprinkle in free range contempt
2 cups of sin - mixed in repent
A tablespoon of what was meant

Garnish plate with good intention
Pick the plant of growing tension
Don't forget the apprehension
Probably not worth a mention

Simmer slowly is the trick
Served along with pins and pricks
Finger foods for the dead and sick
Sweet meats tender tasty licks

A meal fit for modern kings
Like flightless birds with broken wings
Useless lumps of shapeless things
A throat that's cut no song to sing

Animals of present past
In a future not meant to last
Still not full and eating vast
Going strong but fading fast

Chorus:
A recipe for the modern age
The time has come to set the stage
So glad it's over turn the page
Subdue your hate and calm your rage

No more times for wants or needs
Consuming more than a disease
But what you get is what you see
So come on now and follow my lead

The menu's written long ago
Much further back than you know
Don't hesitate when it's time to go
It's coming fast so don't move slow

The concept leaves you wanting more
Seconds please then out the door
Leave the money on the floor
Back to the streets just like a whore

Come get what you need

CHORUS

When it's over turn and smile
you're free now from that denial
