Youth culture killed my dog

and I don't think it's fair

and his suicide can be justified

         A          -        Am       -
by the tastemakers how they cried and cried

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


|: E                         -         D / A   D / A :|
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...
