George The Poet - The Lazy Dog lyrics

Imagine having a starving hound Barking loud without calming down You know the reason for the dog's bad mood: It's been a while since the dog's had food But the sound is more annoying than Crazy Frog What's his problem? Must be a lazy dog Skulking around trying to act hard When there's more than enough to eat in the backyard You don't take him running, cause you go to jog alone Before you leave you throw the dog a bone Thinking: 'He looks depressed, but he won't faze me If he's that hungry he shouldn't be so lazy.' You don't call the dog by name cause he responds to 'Oi' Sees the meat on the bone and jumps for joy But it's out of his reach, cause he's tied to the kennel And he can't exactly hitch a ride in a Renault It doesn't take a dissertation with Harvard references To work out the dog's going to starve to d**h because Every time you throw him something to eat It lands metres in front of his feet See giving someone a chance isn't the same as to set them free That's why when someone's in trouble it's not enough to just let them be What's the point in claiming to sing a song of hope when your pa**ing judgement? How's a sinner going to cope? We're planning a prison break - bring along a rope And if the rope ain't long enough bring a longer rope Suppliers give the buyers, give the slinger stronger dope And the heart tells the heart ignorance is bliss But the joints can't work if the ligaments are twisted I hope you understand the significance of this There's so much potential for magnificence at risk But just like my words the iterance persists Just like my words the iterance persists ... I hope you understand the significance of this
