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]
