lyrics

Life Among the Cannibals
Kent Agee

There’s a face in our window, there’s a voice in our heads
There’s a mad dog in the nursery, a cracked mirror above our beds
It’s the face of the accuser and the voice is our own
While our greed devours our future, we watch
And pretend nothing’s wrong

On the table of your neighbor, spread the flag, place the cross
Eat his name, eat his history, “bless this house, now it’s ours”
And our children’s children’s children may forget and pretend
But the lies we choose to tell them, leave the emptiness
That will make them feed again

Can’t you hear the drums beating underneath it all
Look how far we’ve come, this is life among the cannibals

and the beat goes on, and the beat goes on

Can’t you hear the drums beating underneath it all
Look how far we’ve come, this is life among the cannibals
