Dylan Thompson - Muzzled lyrics

In the back streets and under the bridges Rag and bone babies are growing in numbers The underdog's pups, yelping for mothers And all dying fast from the pack that surrounds them They're chewing the tails from between their own legs They're chewing the frames, that hold up their houses Digging for bones that were buried by others And all getting lost on the way This is the fall You can't pretend that it's not the end And you'll be put down with me Coz you hold the chain while I take the strain A weight that you'll never even feel Until we fall My dreams are of mauling the fingers that feed us That breed us and bleed us, to leave them as stumps Such dreams will never feel the cold rays of reality Mine's another mouth caged in a war that is seemingly Settled by growls from the top dogs and b**hes Who howl at each other in kennels of law Meanwhile below in the sodium glow of today We are licking our paws This is the fall You can't pretend that it's not the end And you'll be put down, down with me Coz you hold the chain while I take the strain A weight that you'll never even feel Still I defend the way it transcends It seems that it's meant, it's meant to be That all in command, every woman and man Will be put down, down, everyone will be put to sleep So bring on the pound, put me to sleep Think of yourselves, able to think, unable to speak Undo my chain, throw me a ball Let me away, no whistle, no call This is the fall
