|
I got a letter in the mail just the other day |
|
Opened it up, this is what it had to say: |
|
"Wouldn't you please give us the pleasure |
|
Of having you at our table tonite? |
|
From, the donner family" |
|
We've been hungry for such a long time |
|
And we've eaten our dogs and rawhide |
|
We've got half of our family on ice |
|
They would not want the rest of us to die |
|
They would not want the rest of us to die |
|
They don't care |
|
They would not have us starve to death |
|
We're so cold |
|
We're freezing and there's nothing left |
|
They don't care |
|
I'm sure that they wouldn't mind |
|
It's so bad |
|
Half of us are snow blind |
|
It's too late now, we can never go back |
|
We can make up for the protein we lack |
|
Four days of no food have left us all weak |
|
I feel like I can't stand on my own two feet |
|
My own two feet, my own two feet |
|
We've been waiting for such a long time |
|
For some word of help or some sign |
|
That someone's coming to our rescue |
|
Until then, we'll do what we have to |
|
Until then, we'll do what we have to |
|
They don't care |
|
They would not have us die this way |
|
It's like this |
|
We have to find some food today |
|
They don't care |
|
They knew what we were going through |
|
They don't care |
|
This is what it's come to |
|
We never felt like we could really do it |
|
Now weare just thankful we all lived through it |
|
We ate those people because we were hungry |
|
Yeah, we're survivors of the donner family |
|
The donner family |
|
We've been hungry for such a long, long time |
|
And we've eaten our dogs and rawhide |
|
We've got half of our family on ice |
|
They would not want the rest of us to die |
|
They would not want the rest of us to die |
|
They don't care |
|
They would not have us starve to death |
|
We're so cold |
|
We're freezing and there's nothing left |
|
They don't care |
|
I'm sure that they wouldn't mind |
|
It's so bad |
|
Half of us are snow blind |
|
I got a letter in the mail just the other day |
|
Opened it up, this is what it had to say: |
|
"wouldn't you please give us the pleasure |
|
Of having you at our table tonite? |
|
From, the donner family" |
|
The donner family |
|
The donner family |
