[Intro]
Dog eat dog

[Verse 1]
It's dog eat dog
I'm just waking up
The dove is in the dungeon
And the white-washed hawks peddle hate and call it love

[Verse 2]
Dog eat dog
Holy hope in the hands of
Snakebite evangelists and racketeers
And big wig financiers

[Verse 3]
Dog eat dog
On primetime crime the victim begs
Money is the road to justice
And power walks it on crooked legs

[Verse 4]
Primetime crime
Holy hope in the hands of
Snakebite evangelists and racketeers
And big wig financiers
[Chorus 1]
Where the wealth's displayed, thieves and sycophants parade
And where it's made, the slaves will be taken
Some are treated well in these games of buy and sell
And some, like poor beasts, are burdened down to breaking

[Verse 5]
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

[Verse 6]
Dog eat dog
You'll do well in this land of
Snakebite evangelists and racketeers
You could get to be a big wig financier

[Chorus 2]
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

[Outro]
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
