Joni Mitchell - Dog Eat Dog Lyrics
Dog eat dogIts dog eat dog--Im just waking upThe dove is in the dungeonAnd the white-washed hawks pedal hate and call it loveDog eat dogHoly hope in the hands ofSnakebite evangelists and racketeersAnd big wig financiersDog eat dogOn prime time crime the victim begsMoney is the road to justiceAnd power walks it on crooked legsPrime--time--crimeHoly hope in the hands ofSnakebite evangelists and racketeersAnd big wig financiersWhere the wealths displayedThieves and sycophants paradeAnd where its made--The slaves will be takenSome are treated wellIn these games of buy and sellAnd some like poor beastAre burdened down to breakingDog eat dogIts dog eat dog, aint it flim flam manDog eat dog, you can lie, cheat, skim, scamBeatem any way you canDog eat dogYoull do well in this land ofSnakebite evangelists and racketeersYou could get to beA big wig financierLand of snap decisionsLand of short attention spansNothing is savoredLong enough to really understandIn every culture in declineThe watchful ones among the slavesKnow all that is genuine will beScorned and conned and cast awayDog eat dogPeople looking, seeing nothingDog eat dogPeople listening, hearing nothingDog eat dogPeople lusting, loving nothingDog eat dogPeople stroking, touching nothingDog eat dogKnowing nothingDog eat dog
