John Brown's Body - Starver [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

No water no wine
Is ever left me
You take me through the starving time
Oh love you are divine
No water no wine
No never says she
Will we take bread before the starvers dine
We keeping alive

Given a dollar and that's all we get
Cook all the food at night we shiver and fret
You better know that you have a poison
No antidote, find the medicine
Check out the con man and company
Do what they want with the green trees and economy
We seen a dream it'll catch you one day
Hope not another hungry

Chorus

Over and over shes getting weak
Forgotten. She's starving
Each morning she keep telling me she wants it
We want it, we want it
Woe that the starver in a land of plenty
In need, in need
Oh for the soil we keep chanting louder
Make it shower, make a garden grow

Didn't you know how the story ends?
The wind don't fly in a single direction
Break up miles of your best defense that you make, it's a wicked invention

Why can't we feed them here
Gather them all to me
We hungry now cause we been in need or we get rude
And we need it soon

Chorus
