why don't you just find another dog, to steal his bones and slap his ears?
lyrics
you wanna have my word
well my word it ain't worth nothin
not worth a scrap of paper
or a stone at the bottom of the sea
but listen to me
you wanna take my time
but my time it can't be taken
it won't do a damn thing for you
just roll away and go
yeah I'll tell you so
so why don't you
just find another dog
to steal his bones
and slap his ears
you wanna make me move
but you won't get me moving
I'll stay here til I rot
and there's nothing you can do
nothin I want you to
you want me to be a man
but that's just what I'm being
and one day I'm gonna die
maybe then you'll leave me alone
yeah, all alone
so why don't you
just find another dog
to steal his bones
and slap his ears
and why don't you
stop living in a fog
and see that I
just ain't worth your time?
