About
Feed the hungry
Lyrics
Intro
No food in the kitchen, lines getting longer
People on the block feeling hurt, feeling somber
Capitol Hill got the hunger games running
Ain't no checks, just cold days coming
Verse 1
Moms in the market with the list she made
Empty baskets in the aisle, all the hope starts to fade
Congress on TV talking point and charade
Fingers point across the room but the bills get delayed
Votes roll in but the tables never turn
One side standing tall, the other let it burn
Promised help for the hungry, now the people all learn
Politics got a price tag for bridges not earned
Chorus
Snap back, snap back, where the dinners at?
We just want the funds for the struggle and the snacks
Calloused hands reaching for the government aid
Everyday the system just parades
Hook
Snap back all night
Waiting for the light
Empty plates in sight
We fight for what’s right
Verse 2
See the votes tally, see the fingers cross
Promises are traded for the power that they lost
Republicans saying put the service on track
Trying every angle just to get the food back
But the games don’t end and the hours start to freeze
Both sides lining up with policies to seize
We remember those deals way back in the day
Now the rules getting broken and the food slips away
Pre-Chorus
Talk is cheap when the cupboards are bare
No room for the leverage, no room for despair
Lines getting longer, frustrations grow
Someone’s gotta break before the hunger overflows
Chorus
Snap back, snap back, where the dinners at?
We just want the funds for the struggle and the snacks
Calloused hands reaching for the government aid
Everyday the system just parades
Hook
Snap back all night
Waiting for the light
Empty plates in sight
We fight for what’s right
