Lyrics

Dog New Tricks

[Verse 1] I wish I had not woke up today Everyone mistakes the things you say Take the simple truth and Twist it all around Make it sound important And make it seem profound [Chorus] Dog new tricks Nothing you learn will stick Dog new tricks You make me feel so worthless [Verse 2] Everyone I know has gone away Died or left or just forgot to stay Sometimes took for granted Sometimes turned away Sometimes didn't say what I meant to say [Chorus] Dog new tricks Nothing you learn will stick Dog new tricks You make me feel so worthless [Post-Chorus] (Nothing you learn) (Nothing you learn) (Nothing you learn) (Nothing you learn) [Verse 3] I never would have pegged you For what you have become Everyone lies, everyone cheats Not like you've done [Chorus] Dog new tricks Nothing you learn will stick (Nothing you say) Dog new tricks You make me feel so worthless (Nothing you say) Dog new tricks (Nothing you say) Nothing you learn will stick (Nothing you say) Dog new tricks (Nothing you say) You make me feel so worthless (Nothing you say) [Outro] (Nothing you learn) (Nothing you learn) (Nothing you learn) (Nothing you learn)
