DOG’S DAY
Middle class dreams
Lackluster love
Tell you what I mean
By freeing a dove
Big shots in big cars
Limousines
Who needs ‘em,
Who feeds ‘em,
Who knows?
Rush, rush, scurry about
Big men worry and pout
Dig it? Dig it? Get it, yet?
Of course you do! You bet!
People tell you what to do
Who needs ‘em?
No one spends his money on you
Who leads ‘em?
Wait. Wait your turn
Live and learn
One day, maybe, you’ll
Get your chance
To stand with the whip
And make them dance.
