"Eat or Be Eaten" is a song from "The Question." In this song, the creatures from the Forest of Doom try to explain their interpretation of the meaning of life.
Lyrics
Squirrel: The meaning of life has a single rule
I know it makes sense, though it may seem cruel
The logic of the rule cannot be beaten
Cause the meaning of life is to eat or be—
Snake: The truth my friend was trying to sweeten
Is that the meaning of life is to eat or be—
Bird: Alas, poor snake, his life was fleeting
For the meaning of life is to eat or be—
Griffin: Allow me to finish what the bird was tweeting
The meaning of life is to eat or be eat—
Beast: I'm sorry our song just keeps repeating
But the meaning of life is to eat, or be...
Well, I guess that the biggest remains unhurt
Which means that I have some time... FOR DESSERT...
