wont somebody throw that dog a bone
I can’t remember
When I felt so alone.
They’re fighting to be the first
To cast the first stone.
Catapults are vying with
Slingshots that are trying
To set stones flying.
Won’t somebody
Throw that dog a bone.
Eyes are looking sideways.
People talking out the sides of their mouths.
Seems like nowadays
No one lives in a glass house.
There’s a dog in the manger.
The cows can’t feed.
Look back in anger
At a hand full of greed.
Jesus was born there.
He would have died there too.
Someone’s stolen your fair share,
Someone you never knew.
There’s a dog in the manger.
The cows can’t breed.
Must be a stranger
With a stranger creed.
Holy cow, the barn’s on fire.
Dog’s knocked over the lantern.
Every gun’s for hire.
I’ve never seen so much
Unleashed pent up desire.
There’s a dog in the manger.
The cows are down on their knees.
Looking for an answer
To give some release.
There’s a dog in the manger.
It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
There never was a wager
But everyone’s still owing.
I just really only want to go home.
Won’t somebody throw that dog a bone.
