Lyrics & Translation
English
You got to be crazy, gotta have a real need
Gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street
You got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You got to strike when the moment is right without thinking
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's gonna get harder, harder, and harder as you get older
Yeah, and in the end you'll pack up, fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer
And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone
Dragged down by the stone
Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
Everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer
Who was born in a house full of pain?
Who was trained not to spit in the fan?
Who was told what to do by the man?
Who was broken by trained personnel?
Who was fitted with collar and chain?
Who was given a pat on the back?
Who was breaking away from the pack? (Breaking away)
Who was only a stranger at home? (Only a stranger)
Who was ground down in the end? (Ground down)
Who was found dead on the phone? (Found dead)
Who was dragged down by the stone?
Who was dragged down by the stone?

Dogs (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Tienes que estar loco, tienes que tener una necesidad real
Tienes que dormir alerta, y cuando estás en la calle
Tienes que ser capaz de elegir la presa fácil con los ojos cerrados
Y luego moverte en silencio, a favor del viento y fuera de la vista
Tienes que atacar cuando el momento es el correcto sin pensar
Y después de un tiempo, puedes trabajar en puntos de estilo
Como la corbata del club, y el apretón de manos firme
Una cierta mirada en los ojos, y una sonrisa fácil
Tienes que ser de confianza para la gente a la que mientes
Para que cuando te den la espalda
Tendrás la oportunidad de clavar el cuchillo
Tienes que mantener un ojo mirando por encima de tu hombro
Sabes que se va a poner más difícil, más difícil y más difícil a medida que envejeces
Sí, y al final harás las maletas, volarás al sur
Esconderás la cabeza en la arena
Solo otro triste anciano
Completamente solo y muriendo de cáncer
Y cuando pierdas el control, cosecharás lo que has sembrado
Y a medida que el miedo crece, la mala sangre se ralentiza y se convierte en piedra
Y es demasiado tarde para perder el peso que solías necesitar para presumir
Así que ten un buen ahogamiento, mientras te hundes, completamente solo
Arrastrado por la piedra
Tengo que admitir que estoy un poco confundido
A veces me parece como si solo me estuvieran usando
Tengo que mantenerme despierto, tengo que intentar sacudirme este malestar creciente
Si no me mantengo firme, ¿cómo puedo encontrar mi salida de este laberinto?
Sordo, mudo y ciego, sigues fingiendo
Que todos son prescindibles y nadie tiene un amigo de verdad
Y a ti te parece que lo que hay que hacer sería aislar al ganador
Todo se hace bajo el sol
Y en el fondo crees que todos son asesinos
¿Quién nació en una casa llena de dolor?
¿Quién fue entrenado para no escupir en el ventilador?
¿A quién le dijo el hombre lo que tenía que hacer?
¿Quién fue quebrado por personal entrenado?
¿A quién le pusieron collar y cadena?
¿A quién le dieron una palmada en la espalda?
¿Quién se estaba separando de la manada? (Separando)
¿Quién era solo un extraño en casa? (Solo un extraño)
¿Quién fue aplastado al final? (Aplastado)
¿Quién fue encontrado muerto al teléfono? (Encontrado muerto)
¿Quién fue arrastrado por la piedra?
¿Quién fue arrastrado por la piedra?
