Dogs Of Democracy Lyrics
when the old dog
and the young dog
plot together for a spree
you can best bet
we'll all get wet
they'll be running fast and free
singing a bone sweet bone
bone sweet bone
singing it loud and long
bone sweet bone
bone sweet bone
money ain't never wrong
although the old dog
got a bad hack
and the young dog got fleas
you can best bet
we'll all get wet
with the young dog there's a treat
sing it bone sweet bone
bone sweet bone
singing it loud and long
bone sweet bone
bone sweet bone
money ain't never wrong
there's a message
in this ditty
there's a moral to this song
when the dog's up
get the boney
remember they'll be howling money's never wrong
sing it bone sweet bone
bone sweet bone
singing it loud and long
bone sweet bone
bone sweet bone
money ain't never wrong
bone sweet bone
bone
bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo
bone sweet bone sweet bone
singing it loud and long
bone sweet bone
bone sweet bone
money's never never never
money's never wrong
money's never wrong
oh good god
bone sweet bone
whooo

that-a-boy
bone sweet bone
and the young dog
plot together for a spree
you can best bet
we'll all get wet
they'll be running fast and free
bone sweet bone
singing it loud and long
bone sweet bone
bone sweet bone
money ain't never wrong
got a bad hack
and the young dog got fleas
you can best bet
we'll all get wet
with the young dog there's a treat
bone sweet bone
singing it loud and long
bone sweet bone
bone sweet bone
money ain't never wrong
in this ditty
there's a moral to this song
when the dog's up

Okay, I added lyrics.
My idea of what this song is about is pretty basic: I think the old dog and the young dog are both politicians, and despite our hopes that the young dog might change things or the old dog temper the young one, "we'll all get wet" as they sell us out for money.
They're all too busy "singing 'bone sweet bone'" and admitting that "money's never wrong" to want to or maybe to be able to change anything.
This isn't all the lyrics - I really like this song, but it's hard to hear the words.
The dogs are the politicians. "Bone sweet bone" is a metaphor for the entitlements and other benefits government offers. They think they're right because they have the money.
