lyrics

Dog Eat Dog World
Sure could use some help
Cos I got no one, I got nowhere else
Did your old lady throw you out onto the streets
Saying you're a Junkie, you're a liar and a thief
Nowhere left to run
what will you become
Not even powders got the power that you need
To realise

You've fallen by the wayside
I know that I'll survive
Wont you, throw a stranger a lifeline
One Chance in a lifetime
Even though I know I've only got myself to blame
Feels like I'm trying to strike a match stood in a hurricane
And my rock bottoms coming, like a train
You've fallen by the wayside

Dog Eat Dog world
Sure could use some help
Where your soul go
There's a hole instead
Did your old lady throw you out onto the streets
Saying you're a Junkie, you're a liar and a cheat
Nowhere left to run
what will you become
And only evil from the needle that you need

You've fallen by the wayside
I know that I'll survive
Wont you, throw a stranger a lifeline
One Chance in a lifetime
Even though I know I've only got myself to blame
Feels like I'm trying to strike a match stood in a hurricane
And my rock bottoms coming, like a train
You've fallen by the wayside
