(A dark parody of Depeche Mode’s “People Are People”)

[Chorus] People eat people, so why should it be You and I should starve so awfully? People eat people, so why should it be You and I should starve so awfully?

[Verse 1] So we’re different villages, and we’re different farms Different people have different harms It’s obvious you fear me, though I’ve done nothing wrong I’ve never even met you, so what could I have done?

[Pre-Chorus] I can’t understand What makes a man Eat another man Help me understand

[Chorus] People eat people, so why should it be You and I should starve so awfully? People eat people, so why should it be You and I should starve so awfully?

[Verse 2] Stalin took the grain, sealed the borders tight Left the peasants dying in the endless night Mothers watched their children with a hollow eye “Good people who refused the dead were first to die”

Parents killed their babies, or gave their flesh with grace When the living begged for meat from the cold embrace Doctors wrote their letters: “I have not yet begun… But I’m not sure I won’t be one by the time this reaches you, my son.”

[Bridge] Now you’re digging, and you’re scraping, and you’re fighting over bones In the frozen villages where mercy’s overthrown Help me understand What turns a man Into a beast again

[Chorus – slower, heavier] People eat people, so why should it be You and I should starve so awfully? People eat people, so why should it be You and I should starve so awfully?

[Outro] Over two thousand sentenced… just for staying alive In the Bloodlands where humanity barely survived… People eat people… People eat people…
