[Verse 1

You feed him every day

You tell him mighty long tales

Smoking on a cigarette

Rolling on a circus about

The better years to come

The better years to come (oh)

[Chorus

And you don't know my dog like I do

Oh yeah

[Verse 2

I don't wanna hear you out

Hell is just a day away

I don't wanna be around

I hope you're happy all alone

The better years to come

The better years to come

[Chorus

And you don't know my dog like I do

And you don't know my dog like I do

[Verse 3

And the scar above your brow

You wear it like a crown

Tells a story men won't tell

Big dreams got to let them go

A better year to come

A better year to come

[Chorus

(But) and you don't know my dog (No no no) like I do

And you don't know my dog like I do

[Verse 4

I can see it from afar

Severed heads out on the lawn

It ain't something I would do

Then again

I'm not like you

The better years have come

The better years have come (Come on! Uh)
