lyrics

Much to Your Horror the reaping has claimed your soul
to capitol city all tributes must go
just a coal miner's daughter from district 12
just another sob story just another unknown

if no one sponsors you
what are you gonna do?
when everyone around you
wants to see you dead

a long time has passed since the start of the hunger games
the people have all passed but the situations still the same
sacrifice your songs and daughters put on a good show
you're the belle of the ball till you're dealt the death blow

Chorus

hunted by careers who seem to have no fear
hiding in a tree you can hear'em drawing ever near
will anyone help this poor coal miner's dauther
any assistance could save her from slaughter

Chorus
