The Dead Dog Lyrics

Yeah, these people have it made
They got all the money, everything
They know it all, so they got nothin' else to know
Forget it all when they fly back from Mexico

Like the wolves that had it made
They got food for years, mountains for days
Up the mountain gotta find what the sheep had found
Back to the den, found that the cubs had drowned

So why would we try if we can wait
And just have ourselves a time?
Free like the mind, it always waits
For friends to come around
So they'll get high and higher still
And slowly fall behind
The warmth it came in waves of pain
We really had ourselves a time
Yeah, we had ourselves a time

You'll find me at the Dead Dog
Boy, I gotta warn you
These people, they…they didn't try
They didn't try
And they lie and they lie and they lie
They lie, they lie

Still borns are takin' shape
Took ten of them, ten years, ten times, what it takes?
Forget it all, just shove all the poor in there
The hungry man swallowed all we fit in there

So why would we try if we can wait
And just have ourselves a time?
Free like the mind, it always waits
For friends to come around
So they'll get high and higher still
And slowly fall behind
The warmth it came in waves of pain
We really had ourselves a time
Yeah, we had ourselves a time

You'll find me at the Dead Dog
Boy, I gotta warn you
These people, they…they didn't try
They didn't try
And they lie and they lie and they lie
They lie, they lie
