Everybody + Their Dog

Written September 2002

everybody and their dog’s got something to sell you,
they’ve got a story to tell you
that you’ve probably heard before,
everybody and their dog’s out searching for answers,
yeah, they’re excellent dancers,
just watch the way they hit the floor..
+++ I know you’re so disappointed with the way it all worked out,
+++ it’s a true sob story, you were bound for fame and glory,
+++ now all that’s left is doubt,
+++ the sun rises every morning, but you still feel incomplete,
+++ how can we compete with everybody and their dog?

everybody and their dog is writing a screenplay,
they cut a demo in LA,
yeah, they’re lookin’ out for you-know-who,
everybody and their dog’s looking over their shoulder,
they’re tryin’ not to get older,
but that’s not an easy thing to do,
+++ no, you’re not alone, out diggin’ for a bone in the backyard of the stars,
+++ call me on a cell phone and teach me how to play guitar..

everybody and their dog’s got something to sell you,
they’ve got a reason to smell you,
+++ I know you’re so disappointed with the way it all worked out,
+++ it’s a true sob story, you were bound for fame and glory,
+++ now all that’s left is doubt,
+++ the sun rises every morning, do you still feel incomplete?
+++ how can we compete?
+++ how can we compete?
+++ how can we compete with everybody and their dog?

no, you’re not alone, out diggin’ for a bone in the backyard of the stars…
