HIII RAINE!! "Skinning the children for a war drum, putting food on the table selling bombs and guns, it's quicker and easier to eat your young" from eat your young by Hozier. It's suchhh a good lyric this song is so interesting and cool

#the chorus was based off this essay written by an irish guy during the potato famine called a modest proposal #it was satirising the english government and their response to the famine cause theyd been doing jack shit to help #and pretty much just demanding the same amount of food as usual be imported despite people already not having enough to eat #and so his modest proposal is mocking them being like hey if you dont have food or money try selling your children to be eaten #or even eat them yourselves if theyre not good enough to be sold!#its super interesting im a huge nerd about this lol #anyway thanks for the ask!!#raine tag #asks #ask game
