Dogs Lyrics by Meryl Streek

Songs For The Deceased

0

And this song is my confession
I hope it widens your eyes
And I've no time for who you know, what you say, what you do Because I've more time for dogs on the street than the people I meet
And I've no time for hands-down tracksuits, jocks or four bags of blow or your poxy ego
And I've more time for the dogs on the street than the people I meet
And be careful what you start because there's no going back once it begins
And I can't wait to be in bed by ten and planning who's head I'll wreck tomorrow
And the only thing I've ever loved was smoking and I gave up on that too
I get nightmares about Amber leaf and cold sweats when I see a lighter
And I was never into painkillers so the pain remains
And your life is meant to be scripted
But how can you let go of the past when you haven't caught up with the present?
And there's no rest for the workers
No person will stand or you'll be shot in the head
Love Fine Gael
I'll dance for bread crumbs because there's nothing left on the table
And I'll die without a penny to my name but I'll die happy I told you all the truth
I wasn't always a prick but you best believe I am one now
And that won't change anytime soon
While I'm listening to you
I've no faith in tomorrow because I wouldn't even bother
And I've no time for who you know what you say what you do
Because I've more time for dogs on the street than the people I meet
And I've no time for hands-down tracksuit jocks or four bags of blow or your poxy ego
And I've more time for dogs on the street than the people I meet
And I've more time for dogs on the street than the people I meet
Less stress and I'm greeted with a smile and missed when I leave
And break the chains around your eyes and start believing in what doesn't exist
Stand close to the ones you love because you don't know when they'll leave you
And stand close to the ones you hate because they're the ones you'll rate
And the moment you snap you'll bridge that gap
Controlled hate? I'll give 'em something to relate
My mental state! the fools can never contemplate
Why I got more time for the dogs on the street its cause I can't trust a single little muppet I meet
They'll destroy you, when you just try to survive
I'm on a road to a fiver when I sign on the line
It's nothing new but who knew that they'd take it from you
Chewed up and spat out a method tried and true
And I hate the way the ones in charge take what little I got
Stand close to the ones you love because they're the only ones who matter
And I trust the dogs on the street over the people I meet
And I hate the way the ones in charge take what little I got
And like many things in my life, I miss them dearly
And I'll die without a penny to my name, but I'll die happy I told you all the truth
And I'm trying to let go of the past but I haven't caught up with the present
