"Dog Eat Dog" lyrics

"Dog Eat Dog"

In time you'll know the answer
But I won't tell you now, no I won't tell you now
In time you'll reach the branches
You'll climb away from me, you'll climb away and see

Dog eat dog, they say
But how can I explain the reason why?
Bang, you're dead, they say
But daddy, don't you worry, we just play

A handshake for the gainers
They smile, but not to strangers
Can you hear the reaper cry
You know I kill, but can you tell me why?...

In time you'll know the answer
But I won't tell you now, no I won't tell you now
In time you'll reach the branches
You'll climb away from me, you'll climb away and see

Sleepy on my shoulder
Now all the words you've found, still in your hand
Billboards soothe and glow
But you will be the one to grow
The definition of you

A handshake for the gainers
They smile, but not to strangers
Across the burning desert plain
The sprouting leaf, the driving rain...

In time you'll know the answer
But I won't tell you now, no I won't tell you now
In time you'll reach the branches
You'll climb away from me, you'll climb away and see

In time you'll know the answer
But I won't tell you now, no I won't tell you now
In time you'll reach the branches
You'll climb away from me, you'll climb away and see

In time you'll know the answer
But I won't tell you now, no I won't tell you now
