Bacharach and David

used to write his favourite songs

never would he worry

he'd just run and fetch the ball

A7 - - -

but the night lights and my dog's life

aren't exactly one and the same

Youth culture killed my dog

and I don't think it's fair

and the judgement made in the city of hate

just broke his spirit so

Bacharach and David used to write his favourite songs

never would he worry he'd just run and fetch the ball

but the hip-hop and the white funk

just blew away my puppy's mind

I don't understand what you did to my dog

Youth culture killed my dog

and I don't think it's fair

and his suicide can be justified

by the tastemakers how they cried and cried

Youth culture...
