DOG EAT DOG
|
It's dog eat dog-I'm just waking up
|
The dove is in the dungeon
|
And the white-washed hawks pedal hate and call it love
|
Dog Eat Dog
|
Holy hope in the hands of
|
Snakebite evangelists and racketeers
|
And big wig financiers
|
|
DOG EAT DOG
|
On prime time crime the victim begs
|
Money is the road to justice
|
And power walks it on crooked legs
|
Prime-Time-Crime
|
Holy hope in the hands of
|
Snakebite evangelists and racketeers
|
And big wig financiers
|
|
Where the wealth's displayed
|
Thieves and sycophants parade
|
And where it's made-
|
the slaves will be taken
|
Some are treated well
|
In these games of buy and sell
|
And some like poor beast
|
Are burdened down to breaking
|
|
DOG EAT DOG
|
It's dog eat dog, ain't it Flim Flam man
|
Dog eat dog, you can lie, cheat, skim, scam
|
Beat'em any way you can
|
Dog eat Dog
|
You'll do well in this land of
|
Snakebite evangelists and racketeers
|
You could get to be
|
A big wig financier
|
|
Land of snap decisions
|
Land of short attention spans
|
Nothing is savored
|
Long enough to really understand
|
In every culture in decline
|
The watchful ones among the slaves
|
Know all that is genuine will be
|
Scorned and conned and cast away
|
|
Dog eat dog
|
People looking, seeing nothing
|
Dog eat dog
|
People listening, hearing nothing
|
Dog eat dog
|
People lusting, loving nothing
|
Dog eat dog
|
People stroking, touching nothing
|
Dog eat dog
|
Knowing nothing
|
Dog eat dog
|
|
