Dead Dog

Dead Dog in the road
Dead Dog in the road
Raise your eyes to the skies
Just do what you’re told

White boy with a shotgun
White boy with a shotgun
Keep your eyes on the prize
Pray you’re not the one

Black girl with a red mouth
Black girl with a red mouth
All the while with a smile
Spends her days down South

Salesman floating in the stream
Salesman floating in the stream
And the threads around his head
Are what’s left of his dream

Dead dog in your bed
Dead dog in your bed
There’s not doubt your luck’s run out
He’s waiting to be fed

Dead Dog in the road
Dead Dog in the road
Raise your eyes to the skies
Just do what your told
