the man who was mortally wounded in war kept on fighting
the man who was cut to the quick by love kept on loving
the man who was mercilessly tortured by thoughts kept on thinking
the man who was crippled with concern kept on caring kept on caring

hair of the dog
hair of the dog
hair of the dog that turned
hair of the dog

the man whose eyes were sore from obscenities kept on looking
the man whose heart bled, killed by compassion kept on feeling
the man whose legs buckled under exertion kept on running
the man whose ears rang with the sound of his own name kept on listening

hair of the dog
hair of the dog
hair of the dog that turned
hair of the dog

    General Comment:Perhaps this song refers to stopping something that is against your morals or something that just goes against you. Like stopping something that you dont want to do that you are doing for other people, because it says "hair of the dog that turned' and i think its symbolism because a dog is depicted as a loyal animal and turning perhaps means rebelling.

    General Comment:love this song, it makes you think about how strong YOU can be too if all these other people are continuing the fight despite their difficulties and limitations, they don't let that stop them.
