Lyrics Dog Coffee

perpetrating counter-culture she is walking
through the park
the first light ugly
and more muscular than the dark
pushing poems at the urban silence
drawing portraits of the passers by
sitting on the curb combining traffic sounds
getting dirty looks and dirty jeans
on the dirty ground
she says i can't figure out what kind of life
this is comedy or tragedy
i just know it's show biz
but what if i don't agree
with the lines i have to read
they don't pay me enough the way i see it
freedom and democracy
that's the word from washington every day
put america to sleep with warm milk and a cliche
some people are expendable along the way
your dollar is dependable
what more can we say
would you like some dog coffee
it is all that we've got
you can have some or you can have not
would you like some dog coffee
it is all that we've got
we're taking care of business
and meanwhile some of the beans rot
