Dog Eats Dog

Here's a hint of gold
 Stuck into a tooth
 Pardon me, monsieur, you won't be needing it no more
 This shouldn't be too hard to sell
 Add it to the pile
 Add it to the stack
 Here among the sewer rats, a breath away from hell
 You get accustomed to the smell
 Well, someone's got to clean them up, my friends
 Bodies on the highway
 Law and order upside down
 Someone's got to collect their odds and ends
 As a service to the town
 Here's a tasty ring
 Pretty little thing
 Wouldn't want to waste it, that would really be a crime
 Thank you sir, I'm in your debt
 Here's another toy
 Take it off the boy
 His heart's no longer going, and he's lived his little time
 But his watch is ticking yet
 Well, someone's got to clean them up, my friends
 Before the little harvest disappears into the mud
 Someone's got to collect their odds and ends
 When the gutters run with blood
 It's a world where the dog eats the dog
 And they kill for the bones in the street
 And God in his heaven, he don't interfere
 'Cause he's dead
 As the stiffs at my feet
 I raise my eyes to see the heavens
 And only the moon looks down
 The harvest moon shines down
