[Intro - quiet, dry, almost ashamed] Yeah… We keep taking more. I don’t even know what for anymore. [Verse 1 - worn out, human cadence] There’s a cart with a broken wheel Dragging sideways through aisle nine Everybody’s buying something Just to feel okay for five Plastic bags, paper lies Big sale sign like a holy word I got things I don’t even want In a house that still feels hurt [Pre-Chorus - slow lift] More in the mouth Less in the soul Feed it again Till it eats us whole [Chorus - big, dirty, singable] Hungry country Mouth full of tomorrow Chew it down, spit it out Still wake up hollow Hungry country Never had enough We keep swallowing the future And calling it love [Verse 2 - more bitter, grounded] Oil runs black through the evening news Same old suit says it’s not our fault Another war gets a cleaner name Another kid grows up too small Phones keep screaming, buy this pain Take this pill, pick your side Scroll until your eyes go numb Laugh while the water line climbs And I’m guilty too Yeah, I know that I am I want something easy In a world I can’t stand [Pre-Chorus - strained] More in the mouth Less in the soul Feed it again Till it eats us whole [Chorus - heavier, cracked voice] Hungry country Mouth full of tomorrow Chew it down, spit it out Still wake up hollow Hungry country Never had enough We keep swallowing the future And calling it love [Bridge - quiet, honest, almost breaking] I bought the thing I clicked the link I laughed at the joke So I wouldn’t think I cursed the machine Then fed it my name Said I want out Then played the same game I don’t feel clean I don’t feel proud Just tired as hell In a hungry crowd [Breakdown - ugly, heavy, shouted] More oil More debt More pills More threat More noise More fear More everything Till nothing is here Eat the sky Eat the ground Eat the future Pass it around [Final Chorus - emotional, rough, not too perfect] Hungry country Mouth full of tomorrow Chew it down, spit it out Still wake up hollow Hungry country Never had enough We keep swallowing the future And calling it love Hungry country I can feel it in us Always full of something Still starving for trust [Outro - fading, tired] We keep taking more… Yeah. I don’t even know what for anymore.
