Butcher In Perfume (B.I.P.) (aTribute) [J.B.P Rework]

STUDIO

[Intro] Napkin tucked in. Silver spoon ready. Are you hungry yet...? Eat the ribbon! Eat the ribbon! [Verse 1] Bleach on the apron, grease in the teeth! Crown on the surface, maggots underneath! Sign off the permit for the chemical spill, Swallow your conscience like an iron-coated pill! Gold-plated cutlery scraping on the dish, Selling off the ocean to poison all the fish! Stamp the requisition! Line up the cattle! Rattling the saber for a boardroom battle! [Pre-Chorus] And the stock goes UP! And the teeth shine BRIGHT! Press-conference grin under halogen light! Smile for the camera, baby! [Chorus] Why do the butchers wash their hands in perfume? Why do we sweep their slaughter through the living room? Feeding the fattened on the marrow of the small! Painting pure gold across a cemetery wall! Why?! Tell me why! [Verse 2] Private jet missionary, sermon on the mount, Drowning the census in an offshore bank account! Rubber-stamp the famine, sanitize the clause, Licking up the mercury to ratify the laws! Pinstripe predator, cellophane brain, Injecting all the profits right into the vein! (Click-clack, drone track, bodies in a sack!) Ain't no turning back! [Pre-Chorus] Swallow the ledger! Swallow the lie! Watch it all die! [Chorus] Why do the butchers wash their hands in perfume? Why do we sweep their slaughter through the living room? Feeding the fattened on the marrow of the small! Painting pure gold across a cemetery wall! Why?! Tell me why! [Bridge] (Dragging down the spine... Dragging down the tempo...) Breathe in the sulfur. Count up the cost. Nothing is broken if nothing is lost. Breathe in the sulfur! Swallow the rust! Grinding the cradle directly into dust! [Outro] Why?! (Because they can!) Why?! (Because you bought it!) Gargling champagne while the children choke on chalk! All of that power and you still can barely walk! Why?! WHY?! [End]
