Come on
The Dogs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ear to the ground keep one eye on the clock
The crew that's rising up this time
Ain't the N.K.O.T.B.
Don't wanna take a number not gonna
Stand in line
Think we're buying all the bullshit
Well you're out your fuckin' mind
I only see in front of me
Will you watch my back?
Searching for the guidance such a long time
We have lacked
Land of equality who is number one?
What comes around
Goes around hard
What goes around's comin' up harder
Open your mind now hear what I've got to say
People livin' off the street growing by the day
Speaking on the numbers I look out for number one
Politics can't fix this mess could a revolution?
I only see in front of me could you watch my back?
These be the times when truth is crime
And lie is fact




People runnin' game to make a name
This one weighs a ton

Overall Meaning

The Dogs' song "Come On" is a powerful protest song that highlights the band's dissatisfaction with the society as they see it. The lyrics focus on themes such as inequality, political disillusionment, and the struggle for survival. The song begins with the band members keeping an "Ear to the ground" while keeping "one eye on the clock" as they observe a rising crew that doesn't want to follow the norm. The group that's rising isn't the New Kids on the Block, and they are not interested in standing in line or taking a number.


The lyrics tackle issues of inequality by questioning who is number one in the land of equality. The song suggests that those at the top get richer while those at the bottom continue to suffer. The lyrics state that the situation is not going to change, and politics can't fix it. The only solution, according to the lyrics, is a revolution.


The song ultimately encourages people to open their minds to new ideas and stand up for what they believe. The message of the song is that people cannot rely on the system to fix their problems but must be willing to fight for change. The band is asking people to stand with them and fight against the injustices that exist in the world.
