Eat the Poor
Opening with a deep, brooding organ and distant calliope, the song’s texture thickens as menacing strings and off-kilter marching band percussion join. Discordant brass swells and ominous bells punctuate the verse, while the chorus unleashes frenetic rhythms and swirling woodwinds.

Lyrics
Step right up, it's a brand-new day,
Profits up and bills to pay!
Got a hunger deep inside?
Don't you fret, we've got your bite!
They're tender, fresh, and locally sourced,
Ethically farmed (by force, of course)!
From alleyway to banquet floor,
We're serving smiles, and a little more!
Eat the poor! They're practically free!
Seasoned with debt and poverty!
A dash of dreams, a pinch of fear,
Mmm, tastes like minimum wage this year!
Eat the poor! They go down smooth,
Feed the market, grease the groove!
Why share the bread when you can score?
Chomp chomp chomp, just eat the poor!
Remember when we said "trickle down"?
Now it's raining meat in every town!
They begged for scraps, they cried for aid,
Now they're the product, freshly made!
Rebrand the famine, call it "choice,"
Silence them, they've got no voice!
With every bite, your stock price soars,
Consume responsibly... of course!
Eat the poor! They're good for you!
Low in hope and protein too!
Turn despair into a gourmet dish,
Fulfill your quarterly analyst's wish!
Eat the poor! It's what we do best,
Feed your greed, forget the rest!
From the boardroom to the killing floor,
We all sing praise, as we eat the poor!
