Lyrics

If 'S' is a cannibal
He does not eat just animals
He eats men
A humanitarian
He likes a piece of flesh
Fresh from the fire
We see cannibalism
As primitive, uncivilized behavior
It violates the very things
We stand for
How we hold sacred
How we live
Everything we think
Or favor and plan for
Course it is a matter of degree
It can be that once we were like him
Living in a tree
Sitting on a limb
Climbing down to eat
Going up again
But we came down for good
When someone pointed out
You can't brew beer up here
You can't brew beer up here
