Diogenes the Dog

from Invasion of the Bugmen by Buskers

/

about

Diogenes of Sinope was a fascinating Greek.

lyrics

Chorus:
Diogenes the dog
The first punk in the land
Wove his lantern around
Searching for an honest man

Verse 1:
Diogenes was born in ancient Greece
A man of principle, a man of peace
He lived in a barrel and begged for scraps
He flipped the bird, didn't give a crap
He was the first of the ancient Cynics
Even if he lived quite unhygienic
Told Alex the Great to get out of his light
Diogenes was a hell of a sight

Chorus

Verse 2:
GG Allin, born Jesus Christ
His life to punk, he sacrificed
Like the dog, he didn't care
He'd just plain take a shit anywhere
Diogenes would be quite proud
They both stood out from the crowd
Now let's set the record straight
Both loved to publicly masturbate

Chorus

Verse 3:
What have we learned from these dead men
That they lived free and they lived zen
So don't let the G-men keep you down
Give the finger to your crappy town
Celebrate Diogenes the dog
And start living free, don't be a cog
There's nothing that can be more freeing
Than to be true human beings

Chorus (x2)
