Eu Quero Ser Um Cão

I don't fancy a seat in the house of lords
What is the point of possession with so many people begging?
Every psychopath has court jesters
I'd rather be the slave who was invited to dinner

I want to be a grain
Among other grains in the Salt of the Earth
By Him who is the Beginning and the End

I want to be a dog
Who eats the crumbs from His table
And that's already too good for me

I am not fascinated by the pose of the high clergy
Only those who see me in secret can reward me in secret
Make a good shoe, Luther told me
Set a fair price, which is rare to find

I want to be a grain
Among other grains in the Salt of the Earth
By Him who is the Beginning and the End

I want to be a dog
Who eats the crumbs from His table
And that's already too good for me

A Madman once said "I Am"
And all Babylon saw its end

I'm tired of hearing this side of the record
It's a lot of blah blah blah to attract more people to the same hook
Use even words, Francisco told me
But all this ostentation is an impediment to seeing the Sun

I want to be a grain
Among other grains in the Salt of the Earth
By Him who is the Beginning and the End

I want to be a dog
Who eats the crumbs from His table
And that's already too good for me
