Dog Eat Dog

I was waiting on my own, waiting for a clue Summer wind has hit the bends, pepperin' the view 'Round here they say it's dog eat dog but It's more like pigeon eat fried chicken on the street We're all just tryin' to get the things we need We're all just tryin' to get the things we need There's always someone out there screwin' somebody But we only see the things we want to see I swear I missed an episode, the dogs are barking in Morse code The squirrels' tails in semaphore like they're tryin' to tell us more 'Round here they say the streets are paved but It's more like we laid down and this town walks over you We're all just tryin' to get the things we need We're all just tryin' to get the things we need There's always someone out there screwin' somebody But we only see the things we want to see I guess tailored suits don't grow on trees And tragedies eventually turn into memes You only build bridges when the river wets your feet You only felt the fire when you felt the heat So here we are Here we are Here we are Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh We're all just tryin' to get the things we need We're all just tryin' to get the things we need There's always someone out there screwin' somebody But we only see the things we want to see
