{Verse 1}
Work like a dog but I haven't got no pay
Tattered jeans, can of beans, what can I say?
Getting by, yeah, until I "get my bone"
Or the man takes everything I own
Oh-oh-oh x2
{Verse 2}
Call 'em off cause the hound is out of sight
Turns out the barks way bigger when it bites
{Pre-Chorus 1}
And when the bad news all piles up, I'm livid
Makes me really think about the life I'm living
Oh could you just please gimme me a break?
{Chorus}
Cause when I say my pеace, I'm-a leave it all on thе floor
Lights, camera, please
I'm-a have 'em screaming for me
And you can turn the key
Go ahead an open the door
And pardon me if I'm not looking back anymore
{Post-Chorus}
No, no, no x4
{Verse 3}
Well if it's true every doggy has his day
Then what am I to do when the dog is dead?
{Pre-Chorus 2}
And the shit's piled up and my heart is livid
Can't stop thinking bout this live I'm living
Oh, I'm begging please gimme me a break
{Chorus}
Cause when I say my peace, I'm-a leave it all on the floor
Lights, camera, please
I'm-a have 'em screaming for me
And you can turn the key
Go ahead an open the door
And pardon me if I'm not looking back anymore
{Post-Chorus}
No, no, no x4
{Chorus}
Cause when I say my peace, I'm-a leave it all on the floor
Lights, camera, please
I'm-a have 'em screaming for me
And you can turn the key
Go ahead an open the door
And pardon me if I'm not looking back anymore
{Alternate Chorus}
Cause when I say my peace I wonder how long I'm gonna stay
Because I water the trees but that don't make me believe that it's all gonna be okay
But I play it out and I stick around
What more can I do?
At the drop of a hat it can all change like that for you
{Chorus}
Cause when I say my peace, I'm-a leave it all on the floor
Lights, camera, please
I'm-a have 'em screaming for me
And you can turn the key
Go ahead an open the door
And pardon me if I'm not looking back anymore
