Please Dont Talk About Murder While I'm Eating

Ben Harper

Intro: (x4) You're the first one to get there And always the last one to leave You're the first one to chuckle But the last one to grieve I know all too well the world takes a daily beating Please don't talk about... murder while I'm eating (x2) You walk into the temple... and call it a church I try to keep things simple... but you always need the works Your life is marked... by numbers and symbols Excessive drinking.. from out of golden thimbles Just a moment of silence I'm needing So let's not talk about... murder while I'm eating Please don't talk about... murder while I'm eating (x4) (x2) (x2) (x4) You get all hotâ??nâ??bothered.. at the strangest times and places But don't notice the looks... on all the other faces You're dressed for summer... in the middle of December What you've all but forgotten... I painfully remember I don't care in the least what you're reading Please don't talk about... murder while I'm eating Please don't talk about... murder while I'm eating Let's not talk about... murder while I'm eating
