PINK FLOYD - Dogs lyrics

rate me

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need<br>You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street<br>You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed<br>And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight<br>You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.<br><br>And after a while, you can work on points for style<br>Like the club tie, and the firm handshake<br>A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile<br>You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to<br>So that when they turn their backs on you<br>You'll get the chance to put the knife in.<br><br>You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder<br>You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older<br>And in the end you'll pack, fly down south<br>Hide your head in the sand<br>Just another sad old man<br>All alone and dying of cancer.<br><br>And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest that you've sown<br>And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone<br>And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around<br>So have a good drown, as you go down alone<br>Dragged down by the stone.<br><br>I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused<br>Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used<br>Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake of this creeping malaise<br>If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze? <br><br>Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending<br>That everyone's expendable and no-one had a real friend<br>And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner<br>And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.<br><br>Who was born in a house full of pain<br>Who was trained not to spit in the fan<br>Who was told what to do by the man<br>Who was broken by trained personnel<br>Who was fitted with collar and chain<br>Who was given a seat in the stand<br>Who was breaking away from the pack<br>Who was only a stranger at home<br>Who was ground down in the end<br>Who was found dead on the phone<br>Who was dragged down by the stone.
