The Dead Dog

Portugal. The Man

Yeah these people have it made 
they got all the money, everything 
they know it all so they got nothing else to know 
forget it all when they fly back from mexico

like the wolves that had it made 
they got food for years, mountains for days 
up the mountain gotta find what the sheep had found 
back to the den they find that the cubs had drowned

so why would we try 
if we can wait  
just have ourselves a time 
free like the mind 
it always waits 
for friends to come around
so they'll get high 
and higher still 
and slowly fall behind 
the warmth it came 
in waves of pain 
we really had ourselves a time 
yeah we had ourselves a time
 
if you find me at the dead dog 
boy i gotta warn you 
these people they 
they didn't try 
they didn't try 
and they lie and they lie and they lie
they lie 
they lie

still born still taking shape 
it took ten of them, ten years, ten times 
what it takes 
forget it all just shove all the poor in there 
the hungry men swallowed all we fit in there 

so why would we try 
if we can wait  
just have ourselves a time 
free like the mind 
it always waits 
for friends to come around
so they'll get high 
and higher still 
and slowly fall behind 
the warmth it came 
in waves of pain 
we really had ourselves a time 
yeah we had ourselves a time

if you find me at the dead dog 
boy i gotta warn you 
these people they, 
they didn't try 
they didn't try 
and they lie and they lie and they lie
they lie 
they lie
