lyrics

survivors' guilt is a thorny quilt
that wraps and rips and tears you up
the flowers wilt at the dagger hilt
the waiting is a run a step a jump

the running stopped and my neighbours dropped
we're few and far between since the eating's gone
and all my worldly wealth has gone on the store shelf
and all the local girls and boys have took to selling themselves
cos

it's getting hard to find any food for yourself
it's getting hard to find any food

they've shut the tap tight they ignore us out here
when you're far out in the sticks they can turn a deaf ear
the cooking pot's all gone up in steam
my brother's crazy hunting down a distant pipe dream

he's tearing down the garden shed
he thinks there's seeds beneath the panelling
(no nothing down there)
everybody's falling dead
they can see themselves unravelling
(now we're lying crying)

winded on the asphalt
breath has long gone
and i'm curled up in the road
and the road is forlorn
cos

it's getting hard to find any food for yourself
it's getting hard to find any food

hello brothers yes i'm
starving i'm starving i'm
starving to death
i'm gonna kneel in the fields
til i'm out of breath
lining up and lining up is never enough
cos the hand that feeds closes
when the going gets tough

it's getting hard to find any food for yourself
it's getting hard to find any food
