Dog Eat Dog World
It's a dog eat dog world
Lord, I know it's true
If you want to survive
Sometimes you got to
Do what you got to do
He stands there on a corner
With a sign held in his hand
Can you spare a dime or a dollar
For a homeless veteran
It's a dog eat dog world
Lord, I know it's true
If you want to survive
Sometimes you got to
Do what you got to do
He sleeps now on a sidewalk
And begs for his food
He lost his job. He lost his home
he's given up on you
It's a downright crying shame
The way things are today
She's working two jobs
Still ain't making minimum wage
She's raising two little girls
Their daddy went away
He's way behind on child support
And she can't make him pay
It's a dog eat dog world
Lord, I know it's true
If you want to survive
Sometimes you got to
Do what you got to do.
She stands there on the corner
High heels and a painted smile
The guilt and pain will fade away
She tells herself each night
It's a dog eat dog world
Lord, I know it's true
Sometimes we have to help each other
Just to make it through
Well a dollar here and a dollar there
Can go a long long way
If we let our hearts lead our minds
see the world change
It's a dog eat dog world
Lord, I know it's true
If you want to survive
Sometimes you got to
Do what you got to do
