We Are Hungry Men
David Bowie
I have this on LP but it's so warped it has been difficult to listen to for a while now,
chords should be right though as I use this song occasionally in acoustic sets.
spoken part is (A)...
(D)My studies include su(A)ffragy,
I've(D)formed my own so(A)ciety to(D)the power of fe(A)cundity.
The (D) world will over (A)populate Unless(D) you claim infertil(G)ity,
So(A) will(D/F#)buy a (E)drink for me(A)
Messi(D)ah.
(D/C)
Chorus...(B)we are(A)not your friends,
(B)we don't give a (A)damn for what you're (G)saying,
(Em)we're here to (A)live our lives.
And with the same chord pattern throughout the rest of the songs/verses.
Other lyrics:
I propose to give the pill
Free of charge to those that feel
That they are not infertible
The kroks of you, 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
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 allowed ...
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
