About

“We Are Hungry Men” satirizes the overpopulation hysteria that had come into vogue throughout much of the world at the time. This panic would culminate with the 1968 book “the Population Bomb,” whose predictions about an impending population crisis would utterly fail to come true.

We Are Hungry Men Lyrics

[Intro]
Here is the news
According the latest world population survey
The figures have reached danger point, my god
London 15 million 75 thousand
New York 80 million
Paris 15 million and 30
China 1000 million
Billington-Spa: lots

[Verse 1]
My studies include exophagy
I formed my own society
To crush the power of fecundity
The world will overpopulate
Unless you claim infertility
So who will buy a drink for me, your Messiah

[Chorus]
We are not your friends
We don't give a damn for what you're saying
We're here to live our lives

[Verse 2]
I propose to give the pill
Free of charge to those that feel
That they are not infertible
The crops are few, the cattle gone
There's only one way to linger on
So who will buy a drink for me, your
Messiah

[Bridge]
Achtung, achtung, these are your orders
Anyone found guilty of consuming more than their
Allotted amount of air
Will be slaughtered and cremated
One only cubic foot of air is allowed
I have prepared a document, legalising mass abortion
We will turn a blind eye to infanticide

[Chorus]
We are not your friends
We don't give a damn for what you're saying
We're here to live our lives

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
We are not your friends
We don't give a damn for what you're saying
We're here to live our lives

[Outro]
We are hungry men
We don't give a damn for what you're saying
We're here to eat you
