Dog Eat Dog

©2008 Garrett Clevenger

Am They killed John F. Kennedy.

They killed Martin Luther King.

They killed our democracy

in pursuit of their dream.

C They killed education.

D They killed science and truth.

Am They killed balance of power.

Em I hope they don't kill me and you.

Am They want your labor.

They want your dough.

They want a favor:

forget all you know.

C They want your power.

D They want the whole pie.

Am They want everything

Em and don't care if we die.

Chorus:

F Em It's a dog eat dog world

G Am G Am Get prepared 'cause it's dog eat dog.

Am G Am

F Em It's not fair or even just

G Am G Am but we're here and it's dog eat dog.

Am G Am Dog eat dog.

Am G Am Dog eat dog.

Am G F Dog eat dog.

Am We got a big brain.

We got 2 eyes.

We gotta use them

at least we oughtta try.

C We got our lives.

D We got hopes and dreams.

Am We got a right

Em to expect respect. You see,

Am we want those bad dogs muzzled.

We want them on a leash.

We want them scolded

for bein' such a beast.

C We want empathy.

D We want decency.

Am We want compassion

Em for every living being.
