Dog Eat Dog |
| 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 |
