Hold it, stop it, the joy ride grinds to a halt There's a bogus load, the old train goes round The curve and purges The hobos who stow away The rail ties are cold There's nowhere to go
Focus on smoke: rooftops, chimney, snow The coldest know this: there's no room at home To care for strangers The cold wind blows out To prepare for danger The doors must stay closed
CHORUS: There's a lesson to learn You lose if you choose to care Let the flag fly high We've guns to spare Freedom to burn Time to kill
The joke's on you, the cold war's still warm No hope for heat, the hawks never bought that social justice hocus pocus It's worth it to hurt you, numbers don't lie It's worth it to purge you to stock pile high

In Dog's Country is a musical about two dogs, a cat, a squirrel, and The Man. This song is a conversation between Mal (a stray dog) and Jake (a young dog with a crush on a squirrel).
Mal: Hey Jake, don't get it wrong Your attraction, that's not love You’re a hunter, and squirrels are meant to be caught Don’t give a thought to how she’ll suffer
Jake: OK, maybe you're right; it's not true puppy love Maybe this craving's for the hunt instead
Mal: Yes Jake, you are a dog Who lives and eats and breathes You should be hunting like a real live dog Do you dare to fetch your meal rare?
Jake: Hey little squirrel look out here I come I think I got a deep down hunger for my teeth in your bones I’m coming to your home
You’re so beautifully fluffy and seeing you’s making me jones I can’t tell if it’s blood or it’s love that’s making me crazy You’re so fluffy...
