lyrics

Snapped herself a photograph
You can see that she’s pleased
She’s got American ways
To deal with these American things

She learned her beauty, as you do
While holding her phone
She learned how to drink and drive alone
When your vision blurs you best know someone

Then at sixteen she got a car from dad
Drove it through town with that phone in her hand
She knew she worked hard for what she had
Better move soon to hang these photographs

You over there are as hungry as bodies come

Danger Baby, they would say
Had thrived in the scene
But complicated changes bring these complications
Judy was her name and now it’s just his dream

Out in a room with concerned citizens
Looking at you, you see they’re looking at him
Doctor, doctor, where you been
There’s too many kids for the shape that we’re in

You over there are as hungry as bodies come
You over there are as hungry as bodies come

Let’s agree on just this one thing -- they weren’t there for her and they won’t be there for you or me

The blood of Christ is like the blood by that tree
Grown from the boys the cops kill in the street
Take this bread as the body and admire what we’ve done
From a distance if you must

You over there are as hungry as bodies come
You over there are as hungry as bodies come
You over there are as hungry as bodies come
You over there are as hungry as bodies come
