LYRICS

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All you punks and all you teds
National Front and natty dreads
Mods, rockers, hippies, and skinheads
Keep backbiting till you're dead
[Verse 2]
Who am I to say?
Who am I to say?
[Verse 3]
Am I just a hypocrite? Another piece of your bullshit?
Am I the dog that bit the hand of the man that feeds it?
[Verse 4]
Do the dog (Do the dog)
Do the dog (Not the donkey)
Do the dog (Don't be a jerk)
Do the dog (Watch who you work for)
Do the, do the, do the, do the, do the dog
Everybody's doing the dog
[Verse 5]
Take your FA aggravation
Fight it out at New Street Station
Master-racial masturbation
Causes National Front frustration
[Verse 6]
Who am I to say
To the IRA
To the UDA
Solider boy from the UK
[Verse 7]
Am I just a hypocrite? Another piece of your bullshit?
Am I the dog that bit the hand of the man that feeds it?
[Verse 8]
Do the dog (Do the dog)
Do the dog (Not the donkey)
Do the dog (Don't be a jerk)
Do the dog (Watch who you work for)
Do the, do the, do the, do the, do the dog
Do the, do the, do the, do the, do the dog
Do the, do the, do the, do the, do the dog
Everybody's doing the dog
