[Intro] [TV static, distorted cartoon jingle, sudden guitar hit] [Lexi - whispered venom] You put the mouth on every screen. [Ji-Yeon - manic giggle] Then screamed when we looked inside. [Thadiwe - guttural] Hypocrites. [Verse 1 - Lexi] You sold us wolves with hungry eyes You sold us whales and giant lies You sold the beast, the opened jaw Then hid behind your moral law You built the cage, you named the thrill You made the monster marketable You fed the dream through every vein Then called desire a dirty stain [Thadiwe - grunt] Hah! [Pre-Chorus - Zahra] Do not bait the starving tongue Then curse the song when it is sung Do not build the teeth we kiss Then act like saints [All - screamed] YOU FED US THIS [Chorus - All] YOU FED US THIS NOW FACE THE NOISE YOU SOLD THE HUNGER TO GIRLS AND BOYS YOU MADE THE MOUTH YOU MADE THE BLISS DON’T BLAME THE WANT YOU FED US THIS [Post-Chorus - Thadiwe + Lexi] Fed us teeth! Fed us jaws! Fed us shame! Fed us laws! [Verse 2 - Eléonore] How elegant, your little crime To dress obsession up as prime time A fairy tale, a game, a show A belly gag you all outgrow Then when the symbol takes its root You crush the flower, blame the fruit You lit the match, you sold the flame Then spat on those who learned its name [Ji-Yeon - mocking] Oops. Was I not supposed to notice? [Pre-Chorus 2 - Lexi] You drew the throat You wrote the fall You made it cute You sold it all You packed the shelves You kissed the myth Then bared your teeth [All - screamed] YOU FED US THIS [Chorus - All] YOU FED US THIS NOW FACE THE NOISE YOU SOLD THE HUNGER TO GIRLS AND BOYS YOU MADE THE MOUTH YOU MADE THE BLISS DON’T BLAME THE WANT YOU FED US THIS [Breakdown] [Industrial drums, double kick, grinding bass] [Thadiwe - guttural] CONSENT IS THE LINE [Lexi - screamed] NOT YOUR DISGUST [Zahra - shouted] NOT YOUR PERFORMANCE [Eléonore - cold] Not your panic in costume. [Ji-Yeon - manic chant] Cartoon mouth! Game beast! Bedtime wolf! Fake priest! [All - gang screams] YOU FED US THIS YOU FED US THIS YOU FED US THIS EAT THE TRUTH [Verse 3 - Zahra] Some dreams are strange, but do no harm Some hungers only ask for charm For being held, remade, unknown For fantasy that harms no bone But you need monsters for your stage So harmless wants become your rage You fear the mirror, not the sin You hate the thing you planted in [Bridge - Eléonore] If it is everywhere, why deny it? If it sells so well, why hide it? If no one bleeds, why police it? If all consent, why demonize it? [Lexi] You don’t hate the hunger. [Thadiwe] You hate losing control. [Final Chorus - All] YOU FED US THIS NOW FACE THE NOISE YOU SOLD THE HUNGER TO GIRLS AND BOYS YOU MADE THE MOUTH YOU MADE THE BLISS DON’T BLAME THE WANT YOU FED US THIS [Repeat - harsher] YOU FED US THIS IN EVERY NATION MYTH, SCREEN, GAME AND SIMULATION YOU SHOWED THE TEETH YOU SOLD THE KISS DON’T BLAME THE DREAM YOU FED US THIS [Outro] [Static returns, guitars dying] [Lexi - low] Call us monsters again. [Thadiwe - growl] Say it louder. [All - screamed] YOU OPENED THE MOUTH FIRST.
