Powderfinger

Like a Dog

in all that he takes in all that he shows

the higher the stakes the lower the blows

and all the mistakes that he's ever known

whatever it takes he'll be stealing the show

now he nervously shakes as we rattle his stage

but he's happy to be stuck back in his halcyon days

now we're trying hard to reconcile a history of shame

but he reinforced the barriers that keep it the same

if you treat me like a dog

and keep me locked in a cage

I'm not relaxed or comfortable

I'm aggravation and shame

but it's a fine fine time for

the people in the lucky land

if you treat me like a dog

and keep me locked in a cage

I'm not relaxed or comfortable

I'm aggravation and rage
