Lyrics Drawing Straws - Dandi Wind

Drawing Straws

Everybody lines up for a suckle
Easy slide to their knees ready to buckle
Watchin it sure enough serves to baffle
But they’re all heart splayed for the raffle
It’s a straw draw at the meat trough
On their knees again for the boss
Straw draw at the meat trough
On their knees again for the boss
From the lines-end standing on my tiptoes
Crane to see just how far this line goes
Are they packed ten, hundred, thousand deep
How far does desperation reach?
Begging all day for a scrap or handout
Destroy one another vain hopes to standout
Why shove / when there’s twigs enough for all
Just Take them from the jaundiced claw
