David Bowie - We Are Hungry Men lyrics

(spoken)

Here is the news

According to 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 included suffragy

I formed my own society

to study the power of fecundity

The world will overpopulate

Unless you claim infertility

So who will buy a drink for me, your messiah

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 gun

There`s only one way to linger on

So who will buy a drink for me, your messiah

We are not your friends

We don`t give a damn for what you`re saying

We`re here to live our lives

(spoken)

Achtung, achtung, these are your orders

Anyone found guilty of consuming more than their allotted amount of air

Will be slaughtered and cremated

Only one cubic foot of air is...

I have prepared a document, legalising mass abortion

We will turn a blind eye to infanticide

We are not your friends

We don`t give a damn for what you`re saying

We`re here to live our lives

You don`t seem to hear me clear

Do I talk above your sphere?

Let me explain my project dear

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

We are not your friends

We don`t give a damn for what you`re saying

We`re here to live our lives

We are hungry men

We don`t give a damn for what you`re saying

We`re here to eat you
