Dog Eat Dog

[Intro]

Dog eat dog

[Verse 1]

It's dog eat dog

I'm just waking up

The dove is in the dungeon

And the white-washed hawks peddle hate and call it love

[Verse 2]

Dog eat dog

Holy hope in the hands of

Snakebite evangelists and racketeers

And big wig financiers

[Verse 3]

Dog eat dog

On primetime crime the victim begs

Money is the road to justice

And power walks it on crooked legs

[Verse 4]

Primetime crime

Holy hope in the hands of

Snakebite evangelists and racketeers

And big wig financiers

[Chorus 1]

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 beasts, are burdened down to breaking

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

Dog eat dog

You'll do well in this land of

Snakebite evangelists and racketeers

You could get to be a big wig financier

[Chorus 2]

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

[Outro]

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
