The Bullies' Dogs
He has a lot of visitors
Who just drop by by the neighbors
They have one common interest
For a penny, they'd do their best
A young woman with recurring song
Thought she had not done any wrong
All that she does is blow defame
Without even knowing his name
Then comes a young man with a haggard look
That for a crook, you could mistook
He barks the same words again and again
Just like a dog with damaged brain
An old woman who knows him not
Comes by the neighbor in a cloaking hat
She thinks she knows him all his days
But she don't even know his face
Why do these people denigrate
For just a piece or slice of meat?
Have their world already gone crazy
That they could kill for just a penny?
Life could be harsh, but it could be greater
If only they would try to be better
But they choose to be a cheat
For they don't want to drip a sweat
