[Chorus] They take our FOOD but still we Hunger On. They take our FREEDOM but still we Hunger On. They take our BLOOD but still we Hunger On. They take EVERYTHING but still we Hunger On.
They can take our food, family, friends, but we still make these ends, even when our flesh rends, and lives end, we always find a way to defend. Katniss has her bow. Remember in the last games? It made for a very nice show. And Gale knows how to set a trap, rabbit runs, next thing SNAP. Was that a rabbit or a cap, we have ways to fit both in our trap. You'll soon see setting traps is something at which we are app. Like when Katniss pulled those berries out her pack. That's right the berries were intentional, not some romance gone four dimensional. We'll do anything to survive no matter how unconventional, when it comes to survival we're the professionals. Afterall we live in ratholes, no scratch that we're we live a rat wouldn't scat, but I got past that, now a rat wouldn't even think of crossing my door mat. Oh by the way I have a doormat.
[Chorus] They take our FOOD but still we Hunger On. They take our FREEDOM but still we Hunger On. They take our BLOOD but still we Hunger On. They take EVERYTHING but still we Hunger On.
We Hunger On, wanna know why I say that with pride? It proves we're alive, unlike Caps with their STUPID! skin die. Really why? Why do they get to live high, while the rest of us brawl to survive. Year after year getting off to watching us die. Taking for granted the value of a human live. Do you people have any concept of wrong and right!?! Oh, that's right, no you don't. Dissent in the Capitol, happen it won't. Afterall how could they ever disagree, when they're all so happy. How can they be so blind as to not see their own system is riddled with hypocrisy. No wait I know how, the real question is why? Why force us to cry, for crimes that happened before we ever arrived. I swear an exodus will come in time, then you'll know what it's like to be hungry inside, but till then just know even if you-
Take our FOOD we still will Hunger On. Take our FREEDOM still will Hunger On. Take our BLOOD we still will Hunger On. Take EVERYTHING we still will Hunger On.
If you think my words are nothing but gloat, let me give you an anecdote. Katniss once had a friendly link with a lynx, it followed her like a pet, but that arrangement had a few chinks. Its presence gave prey the scare, she had to go home with her hunting bag bear. So she arrowed it, and pawned its pelt at the Hob. Now it's probably around the neck of one of you Capitol snobs. She didn't care if she lost some good company survivals her job. Keep this verse in mind as you move forward don't leave it's meaning behind. The point is if you put us on the grind we'll still be on the wind.
Now I'mma skip the chorus and go straight to the final verse, where it get's worse, it's get's no better than this. CAPITOLS DRINK MUTTATION ***!!! If you disregard this diss, give it no thought just dismiss, then the third verse you must reminisce. So when you think we're poor and beneath you remember who gave you your seafood. Even though you put us through hell year after year, we're still here. We're struggling surviving, we're gonna persevere. We're on the verge of a new frontier. So don't be surprised the next time you push a button and your food don't appear.
