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 glassy 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 pussy 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 death all the time
do you buy those rhymes because they`re packaged sublime
while great artists starve to death all the time
[chorus]
