Lyrics
I am Winslow Homer
I ate blue for breakfast
Echoes of my vision
Still grab your solar plexus
See the green waves crashing
To the silvery shore
I ate blue for breakfast
For dinner I?ll want more
People called me Vincent
I shed my blood for breakfast
Born without the filters
That shelter and protect us
Passion fuelled my vision
Color helped me soar
Chorus:
Humans are born hungry
Crying for their breakfast
Hoping other people
Won?t damage and reject us
Searching for a vision
That you can?t ignore
Something ever lasting
Is what were hungry for
Modern men rise early
They need a power breakfast
Limos to the Hamptons
Private planes to Texas
Champagne is for peasants
Oysters are a bore
They eat fools for breakfast
For dinner they all want more
Chorus:
These days were born hungry
Crying for our breakfast
Things to feed an ego
Gas to fuel the Lexus
All the wild excursions
How can you ignore
After the diversions
What were you hungry for?
Humans are born hungry
Crying for their breakfast
Hoping other people
Won?t damage and reject us
Searching for a vision
That you can?t ignore
Something ever lasting
Is what were hungry for
