Appetites Lyrics - Root For Ruin - Les Savy Fav

Have they been counting your blessings 

On their fat fingers and toes 

And when you find it distressing 

Are they like god only knows 

How many dreams they've forsaken 

Just to keep us in clothes? 

All around the world ripens to rot 

And we fill up our guts with the sweet dark spots 

And we take to the skies like 

Locusts in flight 

It might be a disgrace but 

We still got out appetites 

We've no shame and we've no pride 

and we've got nothing left to hide 

Cause we've got nothing left inside 

They can try with all of their might 

We still got our appetite 

Each night we come like 

sharks to the chum 

but the ladder's succumbed 

to all but gristle and crumbs. 

The stakes are so low that we eat off the floor 

That's what we got long tongues for 

Show us your teeth and show us your tits 

and show us the scars from all the shit that you did. 

And we swell up like ticks on the hide of the night 

It makes better men sick but to me it's alright! 

I love you to the max!
