Dog Eat Dog World

It’s a dog eat dog world

Lord I know it’s true

If you want to survive

Sometimes you gotta do

What you gotta do

He stands there on a corner

With a sign held in his hand

Can you spare a dime or 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 gotta do

What you gotta do

He sleeps now on a sidewalk

Begs for his food

He lost his job he lost his home

Now 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

Well It’s a dog eat dog world

Lord I know it’s true

If you want to survive

Sometimes you gotta do

What you gotta 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

Well 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 dollar here and a dollar there

Can go a 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 gotta do
