lyrics

Once an old man told me:
"Live a life that would not embarrass
your dog near your coffin.
Remember that, kid.”
And I did.

Times are changing,
but dogs stay loyal.
Wars are ending,
but dogs stay loyal.
Prices are rising,
but dogs stay loyal.
Folks are betraying,
but dogs keep staying loyal.
Water is polluting,
but dogs stay loyal.
Mars is moaning,
but dogs stay loyal.
Ice is warming,
but dogs stay loyal.
Verve is abusing,
but dogs keep staying loyal.

Come see me, hear my
lifelong story of
mistakes and bruises.
You and I are both alone,
my good-natured fellow.
There's cold wind outside,
There are volcanoes exploding within.
Start this! Stop this!
There's little left majestic.
Start this! Stop this!
You and I are betrayed and decollated.

On river's bank,
with absurd in my hands,
I shared bread with a true friend,
a friend to the very end.
We don’t deserve them!
I remembered myself, that old man,
and the dog, the dog I had never had.
