Lyrics "We Are Hungry Men (Mono)"

[spoken] 
Here is the news 
According the latest world population survey 
The figures have reached danger point, my god 
London 15 million 75 thousand 
New York 80 million 
Paris 15 million and 30 
China 1000 million 
Billington-Spa: lots 

 

My studies include exophagy 
I formed my own society 
To crush the power of fecundity 
The world will overpopulate 
Unless you claim infertility 
So who will buy a drink for me, your Messiah? 

 

[CHORUS] 
We are not your friends 
We don't give a damn for what you're saying 
We're here to live our lives 

 

I propose to give the pill 
Free of charge to those that feel 
That they are not infertible 
The crops of few, the cattle gone 
There's only one way to linger on 
So who will buy a drink for me, your Messiah?

 

[CHORUS] 
[spoken] 
Achtung, achtung, these are your orders 
Anyone found guilty of consuming more than their 
Allotted amount of air 
Will be slaughtered and cremated 
One only cubic foot of air is: 

 

I've prepared a document, legalising mass abortion 
We will turn a blind eye to infanticide 

 

[CHORUS] 
You don't seem to hear me clear 
Do I talk about your sphere? 
Let me explain my project here 
Show you how I'll save the world 
Or let it die within the year 
Why do you look that way at me, your Messiah? 

 

[CHORUS] 
We are hungry men 
We don't give a damn for what you're saying 
We're here to eat you
