A Growing Boy Needs His Lunch Lyrics

    In lonely gas stations with mini-marts
    You'll find rows of them for sale
    Liquor-filled statues of elvis presley
    Drink like a vampire

    His disciples flock to such a fitting shrine
    Sprawled across from his graceless mansion
    A shopping mall
    Filled with prayer rugs and elvis dolls

    And i wonder
    Yeah i wonder
    Will elvis take the place of jesus in a thousand years

    Religious wars
    Barbaric laws
    Bloodshed worldwide
    Over what's left of his myth

    A growing boy needs his lunch

    When pesticides get banned we're safe up north
    We just sell them to those other countries
    Soon there's lots of exotic deformed babies
    Somehow that's not our fault

    Just dip 'em in glaze paint 'em orange and green
    For the arizona roadside stands
    To sell alongside plaster burros and birthbaths

    And i wonder
    Yeah i wonder
    Why so many insects around us feed off the dead

    Death squads
    Starvation
    Foreign aid?
    Just leave it to the magic of the marketplace

    A growing boy needs his lunch

    Everyone should just love each other
    Dip your toe into the fire
    Drop your guns and lawsuits and love each other
    Life begins beyond the bunker

    And while you're busy hugging in the streets
    Outgrowing your hatred for all to feel
    Jiminy cricket's found a game to play
    Stick your neck out and trust¡ºit'll be chopped away

    Jimmy through your locked front doors
    Rifle through your sacred drawers
    Line my pockets
    Deface your dreams
    Til the cows come home to me

    Nibbling like an earwig winding through your brain
    Bound like lawrence harvey spreadeagle to a bed
    The migraine gets worse when we find out we lay eggs
    And no one in all of borneo can hear you scream

    Turn on
    Tune in
    Cop out

    Drop kick turn in tune out
