Like A Dog Lyrics
the higher the stakes the lower the blows
and all the mistakes that he's never known
whatever it takes he'll be stealing the show
but he's happy to be stuck back in his halcyon days
now we're trying hard to reconcile a history of shame
but he reinforced the barriers that keep it the same
and keep me locked in a cage
I'm not relaxed or comfortable
I'm aggravation and shame
yeah if you treat me like a dog
but it's a fine fine time for
the people in the lucky land
the higher the stakes the lower the blows
now he nervously shakes when we rattle his stage
but he's happy to be stuck back in his halcyon days
now we're trying hard to reconcile a history of shame
but he reinforced the barriers that keep it the same
and keep me locked in a cage
I'm not relaxed or comfortable
I'm aggravation and shame
and keep me locked in a cage
I'm not relaxed or comfortable
I'm aggravation and rage
and keep me locked in a cage
I'm not relaxed or comfortable
I'm aggravation and rage
This ones easy- its about powderfingers feelings towards the government and the issues surronding reconciliation
"he" is john howard, current prime minister of australia.
Great song - Total rip off of Iggy and Bowie, but done with so much rocking class that it dont really matter - Riff to die for!
Thought it was about Anthony Mundine...
"He" is John Howard and the song is about Aborigines and reconciliation. Howard pretends to care, but he never actually does anything to reconcile with the Aboriginal people (we're trying hard to reconcile a history of shame). The "dogs" are the Aborigines, refering to the way Aborigines are treated like dogs and thrown in cages (jail) while the whites have more opportunities (fine time for the people in the lucky land).
