Dog Man
I’ve been living like a dog, man—a dog, man, a dog,
I’ve been living like a dog, man, a dog.
Time now’s closer than the day I first arrived.
I’ve been living like a hog, man—a hog, man, a hog,
I’ve been living like a hog, man, a hog.
Empty-headed fools got us—
Normal man, locked, loaded, and on the loose.
“We can’t take much more, Captain!”
“I’m giving her all I got!”
I don’t lose an argument,
So why don’t you just stop?
I’m living in gold, man—in gold.
I’m living like mold, man—like mold.
My eyes wide open like stars, man—like stars.
Close my heart, but open my mind
To the wonders beyond.
1984—year of the dog,
Planet retriever bound for this nation.
Moments of glory for those at the top,
A truckload of slop for the ones to be stopped.
E-I-E-I-O—hello, E-I-E-I-O.
Don’t show us no, don’t show us no—
E-I-E-I-O—hello, E-I-E-I-O.
We must be asleep at the wheel,
The crash is coming, and it’s going to be real.
E-I-E-I-O—hello, E-I-E-I-O.
Don’t show us no, don’t show us no—
E-I-E-I-O—hello, E-I-E-I-O.

The Piggy Project
I’ve had so many names in this life I lose track of which ones were ever really mine and which ones I wore because someone needed me to. Some were handed to me before I had words to refuse them, before I knew what they meant, before I knew I could say no. Most weren’t meant to hurt. That doesn’t mean they didn’t leave marks. Marks that told me who I belong to, who I am by way of who claims me, recognizes me in the good and bad, who walks beside me.
