They Eat Their Young Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel responsibility
To hate what I can't eat
A sack full of hissin' snakes
Layin' at my feet
I see colors that don't exist
Feel pain that isn't mine
Gone from dirt to mud
Gone from mud to slime
[Pre-Chorus]
When you're ready to come home
When you've had enough
When you're standing all alone
You know I'll be waiting here
[Verse 2]
There's pride in what you call yourself
But then, what's in a name?
I feel responsibility
To hate and pass the blame
No, no, no security
They'll beat you with a stick
I feel responsibility
To hate what makes me sick
[Pre-Chorus]
When you're ready to come home
If you've had enough
I know you're standing all alone
Yeah, I'm still waiting here
[Chorus]
They eat their young
They eat their young
Without question
They eat their young
They eat their young
Can't be done all by myself
Send help
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I feel responsibility
To hate what I can't eat
And I feel no security
Just standing on my feet
I see colors that don't exist
The pain, it's all mine
Gone from dirt to mud
Living in the slime
[Pre-Chorus]
When you're ready to come home
I know you've had enough
When you're standing all alone
You know I'm still waiting here
[Chorus]
They eat their young
They eat their young
Without question
They eat their young
They eat their young
Can't be done all by myself
Send help
[Outro]
They eat their young
They eat their young
They eat their young
I feel responsibility
To hate what I can't eat
A sack full of hissin' snakes
Layin' at my feet
I see colors that don't exist
Feel pain that isn't mine
Gone from dirt to mud
Gone from mud to slime
When you're ready to come home
When you've had enough
When you're standing all alone
You know I'll be waiting here
There's pride in what you call yourself
But then, what's in a name?
I feel responsibility
To hate and pass the blame
No, no, no security
They'll beat you with a stick
I feel responsibility
To hate what makes me sick
When you're ready to come home
If you've had enough
I know you're standing all alone
Yeah, I'm still waiting here
They eat their young
They eat their young
Without question
They eat their young
They eat their young
Can't be done all by myself
Send help
I feel responsibility
To hate what I can't eat
And I feel no security
Just standing on my feet
I see colors that don't exist
The pain, it's all mine
Gone from dirt to mud
Living in the slime
When you're ready to come home
I know you've had enough
When you're standing all alone
You know I'm still waiting here
They eat their young
They eat their young
Without question
They eat their young
They eat their young
Can't be done all by myself
Send help
They eat their young
They eat their young
They eat their young
