Dog Coffee Lyrics - Ani Difranco - Ani Difranco

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
