A Dog’s Life

I do what I like but I’m living off scraps
There’s a freedom in needing
In The Garden of Eden

We’re so fucking gorgeous
While we’re building our shacks
There’s a freedom in needing
We’re about to collapse

I know I’m a chancer
It’s part of the charm
I’m so fucking handsome
Built to disarm

It’s a dog’s life
Hunger and ease
It’s a dog’s life
We take what we need
It’s a dog’s life
Living off scraps
A dog’s life
(Slip through the cracks)

We’ve an unwillingness to
Give up and fail & fade
We’re just belligerent fools
Whose future’s made
From sand and stone and
Mortar and bricks
It’s a dog’s life and I’m
Burning both wicks

We dream: of self sufficiency
We lean: a collective deficiency
We need: a whole new space to roam
We breed: here’s your life without a home
