1.
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

CHORUS
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

2.
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?

3.
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
