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 primetime crime
The victim begs
Money is the road to justice
And power walks it on crooked legs
Primetime 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 this game of
Buy and sell
And some, like poor beasts
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
If you 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
