Dog Coffee Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Dog Coffee Lyrics

    perpetrating counter-culture she is walking through the park
    first light ugly and more muscular than the dark
    pushing poems at the urban silence
    drawing portraits of the passers-by
    sitting on the curb
    combining traffic sounds
    getting dirty looks and dirty jeans
    on the dirty ground
    she says I can't figure out what kind of life this is
    comedy or tragedy I just know it's show biz
    and what if I don't agree
    with the lines I have to read
    they don't pay me enough
    the way I see it

    freedom and democracy
    that's the word from washington every day
    the americat's asleep
    with warm milk and cliches
    and people are expendable along the way
    your dollar is dependable
    what more can we say
    would you like some dog coffee
    it's all that we've got
    you can have some
    you can have not
    would you like some dog coffee
    it's all that we've got
    we're taking care of big business
    and meanwhile some of the beans rot
