Dog Eat Dog

AC/DC · Let There Be Rock

Well it's a dog eat dog, eat cat too
The French eat frog, and I eat you
Business man when you make a deal
Do you know who you can trust
Do you sign your life away
Do you write your name in dust

Hey, hey, hey
Every dog has its day
It's a dog eat dog, dog eat dog

Dog eat dog, read the news
Someone win, someone lose
Up's above and down's below
And limbo's in between
Up you win, down you lose
It's anybody's game

Hey, hey, hey
Every dog has its day
It's a dog eat dog, dog eat dog

And it's a eye for eye
Tooth for tooth
It's a lie
That's the truth
See the blind man on the street
Lookin' for somethin' free
Hear the kind man ask his friend
What's in it for me

Hey, hey, hey
Every dog has its day
It's a dog eat dog, dog eat dog

Dog eat dog, Dog eat dog
Dog eat dog, Dog eat dog
Dog eat dog, Dog eat dog
Dog eat dog, Dog eat dog...

Released during the height of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal's influence, the song exemplifies the band's signature blend of blistering guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and raw vocal delivery. As one of the era's most recognizable anthems, it captures the rebellious spirit of the late 1970s and early 1980s rock landscape, solidifying AC/DC's status as global icons. The recording serves as a testament to the band's ability to craft high-energy tracks that resonate across generations, cementing their legacy in hard rock history without relying on specific lyrical themes beyond the raw intensity of the performance itself.
