[Verse 1]

They ball-gagged Lady Justice

And blindfolded her so she can't see

The erosion of the peoples' trust

Of what will come to be an FDIC Assisted Suicide


[Verse 2]

The depression of a depression

Worldwide suicide for the economy

Caused by the dialectic chaos

When the mob on Wall Street took we the people for a ride


[Chorus]

When it's dog eat dog, you are what you eat

Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds

(Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds)

Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds


[Instrumental Break]


[Guitar Solo: Chris Broderick]


[Verse 3]

They took everything and anything

As long as it once belonged to me

The rats got all the money

The roaches licked the cupboards clean of TV dinners and beer


[Verse 4]

This never-ending nightmare

Of the dreams I'll never ever get to see

And just one silver bullet to your head

It will set me free from all the life I wasted trusting you


[Chorus]

When it's dog eat dog, you are what you eat

Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds

(Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds)

When it's dog eat dog, you are what you eat

(Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds)

Just like the mad dog you bite the hand that feeds


[Instrumental Outro]
