lyrics

Wake up 'cause it's a brand new day.
Time to kiss your options away,
'Cause the miracle man's gone astray with the company pay.

You've been shelling out more than you make,
For a company man on the take.
Nip and tuck for the fuck that you are in your company car.

Head-hunted by the carnival man.
Try to be the best freak you can.
Jumping hoops when he starts up the band.

So long! It really has been a blast.
So long! Shame it can't last.

But then while we're all here,
and the world marches on in fear,
Knowing that it's me that really needs the change,
Acting like a wild dog on a chain.

But then while we're all here,
and the world marches on in fear,
Knowing that it's me that really needs the change,
Acting like a wild dog on a chain.

The man taketh what he giveth away.
Oh Lord! They're gonna make us pay.
Squeezing blood from a stone,
Why don't you leave us alone.

Big city's done messing with him,
Gonna wash away all of our sins.
Now there's only wild dogs around.

So long! It really has been a blast,
So long! Shame it can't last.

But then while we're all here,
and the world marches on in fear,
Knowing that it's me that really needs to change,
Acting like a wild dog on a chain.

But then while we're all here,
and the world marches on in fear,
Knowing that it's me that really needs the change,
you're acting like a wild dog on a chain.

But then while we're all here,
and the world goes on without a care.
