Everybody Wants To Be A Dog

from Hellbender by Chris Shepard

lyrics

Man was made to suffer and toil
While I try to find a place for my coil
Whether you're from the stars or from the soil

Everybody wants to be a dog...

Man kill for de Almighty Dolla
My sole possession isa my colla
No ambitions. Happy just to folla

Everybody wants to be a dog...

Man gotta hustle, bustle and run
While I lay and warm my bones in the sun
I wag my tail when I'm having fun

Everybody wants to be a dog

Man's life full of trouble and sin
And I got into the garbage again
Fill my bowl and I'm your best friend

Everybody wants to be a dog...
