Lyrics Shakey Graves – Big Bad Wolf

I be the church, you be the people
Both are a necessary evil
Can you take a look at me and say
«Take my hand, this is the only way»

We’ve both heard it all before
Oh but I feel something happening again
Hey coach, I’m ready, put me in
I hear God’s a good imaginary friend
Hey coach, he’s ready, put him in
Put him on the shelf, put him in a magazine
Put him in the corner, put him on the silver screen
I never sleep, but when I do I never dream
I never worry ’bout the news, I never read
I like to think I am his favorite son

But the truth is I am just someone who’s hungry
Let me eat
Wet-blanket bottom-feeder with a gun, bang-bang
I’m hungry, let me in
Now that going out is all the rage
I guess I’d rather burn than fade

Because we’ve heard it all before
Are you a danger to yourself?
I’m hungry, let me in
Oh is there nobody in it for their health?
Knock knock, I’m hungry let me in
Would you catch me if I fell
Knock knock, I’m hungry let me in
Straight to the bottom of the wishing well
I’m hungry, let me in

Knock knock (I’m hungry, let me in)
