As Hungry as Bodies Come

Snapped herself a photograph
You can see that she’s pleased
She’s got American ways to deal with these American things
She learned her beauty, as you do, holding her phone
She learned how to drink and drive alone, when your vision blurs,
you’d best know someone
And then at sixteen she got a car from dad
Drove it through town with that phone in her hand
She knew she worked hard for what she had
Better move soon to hang these photographs
But you over there are as hungry as bodies come
Danger Baby, they would say, had thrived in the Scene But complicated changes
bring these complications Judy was her name but now it’s just his dream
Out in a room of concerned citizens
Looking at you, they see you looking at him
So doctor, doctor, where you been
There’s too many kids for the shape that we’re in
But you over there are as hungry as bodies come
But you over there are as hungry as bodies come
Let’s agree on one thing They weren’t there for her and they won’t be here for
you and me
The blood of Christ is like the blood by that tree
Grown from the boys the cops kill in the street
Take this bread as the body, and admire what we’ve done
From a distance if you must
But you over there are as hungry as bodies come
But you over there are as hungry as bodies come
But you over there are as hungry as bodies come
But you over there are as hungry as bodies come
