Lyrics

Dog Eat Dog
By Charles D'Simone

When I was young
Just a mother's son
The world seemed different to me
I remember everything made sense

Oh how I've tried
But my hands were tied
No I can't stop defending
I'm pretending
I won't play that game

I will hold the line
On this hollowed ground
Till I'm black and blue
And my heart is found

I won't walk away
Till I know for sure
That I have gotten
What I came here for

[Chorus]
I thought that I could tell the right from all the wrong
But the good heart falls before the strong
It's a dog eat dog
World we live in
You've got to fight
Just to carry on

Subjugate the meek
Don't let them speak
When only sticks and stones
Can break your bones
Don't let it bring you down

When all the tears fell like rain
No one ever will feel safe again
I don't know how and I don't know when
There's just one way through it
Here we go again

[Chorus]
I thought that I could tell the right from all the wrong
But the good heart falls before the strong
It's a dog eat dog
World we live in
You've got to fight
Just to carry on

[Bridge]
With all the heroes
Sometimes it's hard to get a table at your favorite place
Yeah sometimes I feel like I'm just dog food on somebody else's plate
But I'm never giving up
Cause giving up's not my speed
And I just might bite the hand that feeds
In this dog eat dog world

Yeah, dog eat dog world
Yeah, dog eat dog world
Yeah, dog eat dog world
Yeah, dog eat dog world
