about

Recorded at Cory's House in Rockland, Ontario on March 23rd, 2013

This song is also a Mr, Sauga song.

lyrics

It all starts with basic competition
Mixed with the focus of a man on a mission
And everybody knows there’s no sharing the prize
The victor survives with one of his eyes

Stay close with your friends
Stay close to your enemies
Don’t let that line get too wide
In desperate times
Vision gets a bit blind
Don’t let that line get too wide

Some people just aren’t happy with their piece
They’ll take the pie at the price of peace
Stepping on each other just to stand a little taller
A hungry stomach would eat itself if it could

Stay close with your friends
Stay close to your enemies
Don’t let that line get too wide
In desperate times
Vision gets a bit blind
Don’t let that line get too fine

The dog has his bone, don’t you take it away
The dog has his meal, what are you tryin to steal?
