Dog
Hangin’ from a tree with a noose around his neck
you’d think that all these people might show him some respect
and now I can’t touch him and he can’t touch me
Noose around his neck hangin from the tree
take the body down take the body down take it down
you’re the ones that drove him here – his feet off the ground
defiled his own body, now his soul is cursed – it’s wrong
he was the greatest of us all now he’ll be buried like a dog.
things fall apart when you rip from the outside
tear em up and eat em up and shit em from the outside
blow em up with God or war or anything they didn’t ask for
I’m just passing by, don’t pay me any mind
I’m just passing through
I’m just passing by
don’t pay me any mind
Cut my hair and break my bones
kill my land and steal my clothes
but you’ll never know
you’ll never know
take the body down take the body down take it down
you’re the ones that drove him here – his feet off the ground
defiled his own body, now his soul is cursed – it’s wrong
he was the greatest of us all now he’ll be buried like a dog.
twist me but I won’t bend
cut me but I will mend
push me but I won’t break
our cultures are not the same
twist me but I won’t bend
cut me but I will mend
push me but I won’t break
our cultures are not the same
things fall apart when you rip from the outside
tear em up and eat em up and shit em from the outside
blow em up and throw em up and fuck em from the outside
twist em round and beat em down and crush em from the outside
take the body down take the body down take it down
you’re the ones that drove him here – his feet off the ground
defiled his own body, now his soul is cursed – it’s wrong
he was the greatest of us all now he’ll be buried like a dog.
I’m just passing through
I’m just passing by
don’t pay me any mind
