Dog Eats Dog lyrics

"Thenardier:

here`s a hint of gold

stuck into a tooth

pardon me mieseur

you won`t be needing it no more



shouldn`t be too hard to sell

add it to the pile

add it to the stack

here among the sewer rats

a breath away from hell

you get accustomed to the smell



well someone`s got to clean them up my friends

bodies on the highway

law and order upside down

someone`s got to collect their odds and ends

as a service to the town



here`s a tasty ring

pretty little thing

wouldn`t want to waste it

that would really be a crime

thank you sir i`m in your debt



here`s another toy

take it off the boy

his heart`s no longer going

and he`s lived his little time

but his watch is ticking yet



well someone`s got to clean them up my friends

before the little harvest disappears into the mud

someone`s got to collect their odds and ends

when the gutters run with blood



it`s a world where the dog eats dog

and they kill for the bones in the street

and God in his heaven

he don`t interfere

cause he`s dead as the stiffs at my feet



i raise my eyes to see the heavens

and only the moon looks down

the harvest moon shines down
