Like a Dog - Powderfinger

In all that it takes in all that it shows

The higher the stakes the lower the blows

And all the mistakes that he's never known

Whatever it takes he'll be stealing the show

Now he nervously shakes when we rattle his stage

But he's happy to be stuck back in his halcyon days

Now we're trying hard to reconcile a history of shame

But he reinforced the barriers that keep it the same

If you treat me like a dog

And keep me locked in a cage

I'm not relaxed or comfortable

I'm aggravation and shame

If you treat me like a dog

Yeah you treat me like a dog

But it's a fine fine time for the people in the lucky land

In all that it takes in all that it shows

The higher the stakes the lower the blows

Now he nervously shakes when we rattle his stage

But he's happy to be stuck back in his halcyon days

Now we're trying hard to reconcile a history of shame

But he reinforced the barriers that keep it the same

If you treat me like a dog

And keep me locked in a cage

I'm not relaxed or comfortable

I'm aggravation and shame

If you treat me like a dog

And keep me locked in a cage

I'm not relaxed or comfortable

I'm aggravation and rage

If you treat me like a dog

And keep me locked in a cage

I'm not relaxed or comfortable

I'm aggravation and rage
