Just Desserts
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Man can't live on bread alone
Imagine living on mascarpone
And always denied the meat of life
He got some sugar and the sugar's nice
Keep that taste gotta make his breaks
Or it's a long time between the cakes
The more he has the more it takes
His teeth fall out and his belly aches
Sweet, but
Sweet's not enough
Now they're saying:
Send him back if he misbehaves
Leg irons and belly chains
The way they were oh when they came
Thinking: his blood doesn't share my veins
Saying: his blood is not my blood
Give him no supper if he can't be good
Take all the ones we can't convert
Give them back their just desserts
These givers back are just the worst
Sweet, but
Sweet's not enough
When you're on the bottom and you want it all
Long way you still can fall
Why's it called a ticket home
When it's an island that he's barely known
With a suitcase full of shredded clothes
The customs agents say hello
Never tried the meat of life
Then his friend had got a knife
Saying: don't be scared it'll be alright
We'll just take a little slice
We'll just take a little slice
We'll just take a little slice
Sweet, but
Sweet's not enough
He could tell she was really hurt
As he left the Just Desserts
He could tell she was really hurt
When he left it just got worse
