salt

all the salt was in my plate
but i said nothing
as i shoved bitter spoonfuls
in my mouth
cuz no one else said anything
maybe something was wrong with my tongue
maybe i was feeling too sensitive with the food
so i kept eating
and i kept dreaming
of burning rice fields 
all over the fucking world
so i kept chewing
bitter mouthfuls
like a dog
that knows nothing better
you've got to eat 
at the end of the day
you've got to sleep
in the bed you've made
so chew on, brother
chew on
maybe you'll get used to this too
(fucker)
