Dog Eat Dog — текст песни (Joni Mitchell)

Dog eat dog

Its dog eat dog--im just waking up

The dove is in the dungeon

And the white-washed hawks pedal hate and call it love

Dog eat dog

Holy hope in the hands of

Snakebite evangelists and racketeers

And big wig financiers



Dog eat dog

On prime time crime the victim begs

Money is the road to justice

And power walks it on crooked legs

Prime--time--crime

Holy hope in the hands of

Snakebite evangelists and racketeers

And big wig financiers



Where the wealths displayed

Thieves and sycophants parade

And where its made--

The slaves will be taken

Some are treated well

In these games of buy and sell

And some like poor beast

Are burdened down to breaking



Dog eat dog

Its dog eat dog, aint it flim flam man

Dog eat dog, you can lie, cheat, skim, scam

Beatem any way you can

Dog eat dog

Youll do well in this land of

Snakebite evangelists and racketeers

You could get to be

A big wig financier



Land of snap decisions

Land of short attention spans

Nothing is savored

Long enough to really understand

In every culture in decline

The watchful ones among the slaves

Know all that is genuine will be

Scorned and conned and cast away



Dog eat dog

People looking, seeing nothing

Dog eat dog

People listening, hearing nothing

Dog eat dog

People lusting, loving nothing

Dog eat dog

People stroking, touching nothing

Dog eat dog

Knowing nothing

Dog eat dog
