lyrics

New York, New York
2022
40 million population
Should we try to make room?
People sleeping on the stairs
Every day, a heat wave
You can call them “furniture”
But everybody knows that these women are sex slaves

Everybody’s hungry
Except for those with money
What happened to this land of mine?
The streets were paved with gold
It rained milk and honey
Now the streets are filled with bodies
We’re covered in pollution
We begged the government for food
And this is what they gave us as a fucking solution

CHORUS
Oh, say goodbye to humanity!
Don’t you know your body is a good source of protein?
Feed the living with the dead
Grind their bones to make the bread
Kiss me, kill me, cook me, eat me
Kiss me, kill me, cook me, eat me
Yes, we make mighty fine cannibals!
Breed us for the meat
We are cattle, we are animals
We won’t let your corpse rot
Waste not and you’ll want not
Kiss me, kill me, cook me, eat me
Kiss me, kill me, cook me, eat me

Riots in the streets
Nothing left to eat
Nothing left to do but die
Die and you become meat
A long, long time ago
This world was beautiful
It was a land of plenty
Then we went and fucked it up
And we said we weren’t responsible

We took it all for granted
And now we’re paying the price
We let our earth become dust
We lost our paradise
And so we struggle with the truth
That we are now barely human
We left our hearts in the gutter
We left our souls in ruin

CHORUS

BRIDGE
The average man needs 2500 calories per day in order to maintain his weight
The average male cadaver yields 81,500 calories
Enough to sustain a person for a month
How did we come to this? (x4)
