To The Dogs - (c) 2004 Vince Dickinson


Watching the sun rise, over the bay
Ship masts pointing to the sky, showed me the way
I gotta fly out of here - One way or another
Leave this world to the dogs - To fight amongst each other

Fire hydrants of the world, London to L.A.
Moscow to Mozambique, the dogs can have their way
They can have all the wars - They can have all the borders
They can work the 80-hour weeks - They can bark all the orders

CHORUS:
     Build a rocket to the moon, build one to Mars
     We'll sail far away, babe, among the stars

I really tried to make this a better world
But dogs are in the board rooms, the government and schools
But my hope isn't gone - It's just faded
We'll be better off - On some other planet

Chasin' bones and diggin' holes to their heart's delight
Running wild and free and chasing cats into the night
The dogs can have it all - It's a canine paradise
I want to leave this world - With engines burning bright

[CHORUS]

BRIDGE:
     Let's get off this dirty rock
     And leave it to the dogs
     Maybe they can turn it all around
     Let's fly away, way above the clouds

The roaring of the engines drowns out the noise below
The city lights are shrinking and the moon begins to grow
The view from up here - Looks so damn quiet
I used to live on Earth - Man, it was a riot

CHORUS:
     We built a rocket to the moon, built one to Mars
     We sailed far away, babe, among the stars
     We built a rocket to the moon, built one to Mars
     We sailed far away, babe, among the stars
