The Thin Gruel Lyrics by Buck Gooter

Consider the Grackles

2012

[Refrain]
The thin gruel for millions of people
[Verse 1]
Nothing is left but a mountain of shoes
Dig your own grave with the tools that they gave you
If they break
Use your hands
This all started as a good idea, everything starts as a good idea
[Refrain]
The thin gruel for millions of people
[Verse 2]
Sometimes you live
And sometimes you die
But to survive
To really survive
Cut a piece of meat out of your thigh
And boil it with paper for a food supply
With them there’s no truth
So they don’t tell any lies
It’s not half empty – there is no inside
[Refrain]
The thin gruel for millions of people
