Stiff Little Fingers - Straw Dogs lyrics

(Fingers/Ogilvie)

All things are relative with cousins everywhere

Hard-nosed blue-eyed boys, intelligent and fair

You gotta pitch in for your kith and kin

Holding the line to save our skin

Pound for pound we'll take the shilling

It takes a man to make a killing

Action men must sterling be

Fight for freedom but not for free

(Chorus:)

Bark and bite, might is right

We're the dogs of war

Bark and bite, might is right

If the price is right....Dogs of straw

So let's go far to the new frontier

It's in the blood defending near and dear

Action men must sterling be

Fight for freedom but not for free

(Chorus)

A man must do what he must do

To prove what life is all about

Admit you must admire our guts

If only cos they're hanging out

(Chorus)

Dogs of straw, bark and bite

Dogs of straw, might is right

Dogs of straw, stab and hate

Dogs of straw, split and rape

Dogs of straw, gouge and blind

Dogs of straw, crunch and grind

Dogs of straw, mash and maim

Dogs of straw, cash and fame

Dogs of straw, cut and kill

Dogs of straw, guts for sale
