This song can also be heard on Belly of the Whale's Myspace. It was written by Libby (my lead singer/editor) and myself.
Five-legged Dog
(-Music by Libby Landvatter, lyrics by Libby Landvatter and Nicholas James West, arranged and performed by Belly of the Whale-)
I have wrung the blood from my hands
In fields and cubicle-lands for seven workdays straight
You grin and you eat through oil and TV
Off a million dollar plate
Your machine will not make us
Your machine will not break us
Aristocrat!
You get your soul deletion and plugs for class distinction
In a two for one deal
We break our arms to the caste our roots abandon us last
That’s how we foot your bill
Your machine will not make us
Your machine will not break us
Aristocrat!
With your feast of human flesh I will move to Bangladesh
So I will not be maimed
Your five-legged dogs will dance with Santa Claus
And you’re still not entertained
Your machine will not make us
Your machine will not break us
Aristocrat!
