Beg my broken heart to pee.
Beg my broken heart to beat.
Break my broken heart to be
Beg my broken heart to beat
Depressed and downhearted I took to crime
Depressed and downhearted I took to cloud nine
I'm doing time on cloud nine
folks down here tell me give me some attention
it's a doggy dog world
I'm doing fine on cloud nine
folks down here tell me give yourself a chance son
it's a dog eat dog world
It was a one room shack that slept in another germ beside me
It was a one room shack that slept ten other children besides me
My father didn't know the meaning of a word.
My father didn't know the meaning of work.
The grass came down hard and I took to cloud 9
Depressed and downhearted I took to cloud nine
You know doggy-darn well it ain't no lie
It ain't even safe no more to walk the streets at night
It's a dog eat dog world, and that ain't no lie
Listen, it ain't even safe no more to walk the streets at night
You're as free as a burning flame.
You're as free as a bird in flight.
You're as sweet as a burnin' flag.
You're as free as a bird in flight.
