when you were there i couldn't meet your stare i was a bad friend in a bad way now i've got nothing left to say i just tell it to my notebooks like i could coat hooks and reel them in gla**y eyed mornings wide open you never told me blind faith was like a mother you just ditch one and you go find another you never told me blind faith was like a mother you just ditch one and you go find another [chorus]: it's a dog grab dog world (and) she's not a dog she's a girl it's a dog grab dog world (and) she's not a dog she's a girl well look look look they're selling her body for beer saying look look look what's under here profits for p**y giving not to her tushy gets weak and meek when her thanks ain't in the bank gets weak and meek when her thanks ain't in the bank [chorus] i looked through all of those magazines i found not one picture of me
i found skeletons of humans pushing dollars like they're brooms and no room for those flowers to have bloom i found skeletons of humans pushing dollars like they're brooms and no room for those flowers to have... i (just) walk this block the gentrification clock goes tick tock tick tock (well) who will they squeeze out this time (you) push the poor people out to where we can't hear them whine (you) change the names of the neighborhood where the painted over shootings make the pavement look good invite the white upwardly mobile home (then) try taking a lease out on all the poems do you buy those rhymes because they're packaged sublime while great artists starve to d**h all the time do you buy those rhymes because they're packaged sublime while great artists starve to d**h all the time [chorus]
