The Big Moon – Dog Eat Dog lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was waiting on my own, waiting for a clue
Summer wind has hit the bends, pepperin' the view, ’round here
They say it's dog eat dog, but it's more like pigeon eat fried chicken
On the street

[Chorus]
We’re all just tryin' to get the things we need
We're all just tryin' to get the things we need
There's always someone out there screwin' somebody
But we only see the things we want to see

[Verse 2]
I swear I missed an episode, the dogs are barking in Morse code
The squirrels' tails [?]
[1: 20] like they're tryin’ to tell us more, ’round here
They say the streets are paved but, it's more like we laid down and this town
Walks over you

[Chorus]
We’re all just tryin' to get the things we need
We're all just tryin' to get the things we need
There’s always someone out there screwin' somebody
But we only see the things we want to see

[Bridge]
I guess tailored suits don't grow on trees
And tragedies eventually turn into memes
You only build bridges when the river wets your feet
You only felt the fire when you felt the heat, so here we are
Here we are
Here we are
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
We're all just tryin' to get the things we need
We're all just tryin' to get the things we need
There's always someone out there screwin' somebody
But we only see the things we want to see
