Made To Scavenge Lyrics - Singles - Canines

A knock on my door 

Woke me this morning 

Made by the hand 

Of a well-dressed woman 

Whod set aside 

Part of her morning 

To ask me if I know why Im alive 

She walked by a man 

Who scours the alley 

Each day for cans 

To trade for money 

To buy a chance 

To play the lottery 

And when he doesnt win, he starts the cycle again 

Made to scavenge 

Like an animal 

So I cannot help 

But watch him searchin 

For lucky breaks 

Just like a vulture 

And wonder if 

His sense of purpose is any less than what Im gettin here 

Bettered by wealth 

and education 

But just as unsettled 

and impatient 

I am too easily sustained 

I cant sleep 

If I am made to obey 

Then why this brain 

This plague of intellect that infects 

Any peaceful state 

Cause I cant say 

If anything 

Is meaningful 

Or some impulse to trick me into 

Another day 

Of this grey
