I swear, every time I listen to Pink Floyd's "Dogs" I can't help but feel that it's a near-perfect summation of life. Not exactly uplifting or encouraging, but there you have it. Best line: "And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around."
Then again, these guys kind of cornered the market on catchy-yet-depressing songs about life. While the Beatles were singing about love, the Rolling Stones were singing about sex, Led Zeppelin were singing about rock and roll, and AC/DC were singing about sex and rock & roll (overachievers), Pink Floyd were churning out songs like "Time" and albums like "The Wall."
Which, of course, makes them awesome.
