We called off your guard as we entered the yard
AA/BA/F#Asus4
to convince you to redirect some of that rage
AA/BA/F#Asus4
Because who fed you rocks while they ate their thanksgiving
AA/BA/F#Asus4
and who left you out all alone in their cage.
AA/BA/F#Asus4
And when you were a pup, I watched you so close
AA/BA/F#Asus4
you ran straight to the distance allowed by his rope
AA/BA/F#Asus4
you got kicked, you got choked, phrases crept up your spine
AA/BA/F#
when he said "we must keep our b**ches in line".
AA/BA/F#Asus4
And on his poker nights he says the same of his wife.
AA/BA/F#Asus4
He's the top dog/pack leader/true alpha-male.
AA/BA/F#Asus4
So make no sudden moves keep your nose from the border.
AA/BA/F#Asus4
You move fast. You eat last this side of pecking-order.

So why don't you come with me?
A/F#Asus4AA/BA/F#Asus4
We've got acres with streams. We won't keep you in cages/make you beg for your treats.
AA/BA/F#Asus4
We won't tell you to heel, though you might need some time to
AA/BA/F#Asus4
dig up those old bones your young self left behind.
AA/BA/F#Asus4AA/B
You said "Your offer is nice but here should suffice. Yeah, my younger years were something
A/F#Asus4AA/B
But that isn't my life. Master is all that I've got.
A/F#Asus4AA/B
He keeps me having a purpose, gives me bed, keeps me fed.
A/F#Asus4AA/BA/F#Asus4
And I'm just slightly nervous of what I might do if I were let loose, if I
AA/BA/F#Asus4AA/B
Caught that mail car, or ate garbage for food. So, as I bare all my teeth
A/F#Asus4AA/F#
I will ask of you please to just leave."
AA/BA/F#Asus4
Well your heart has spoken.
AA/BA/F#Asus4
I feel you're already house broken.
AA/BA/F#Asus4
Well your heart has spoken.
AA/BA/F#Asus4
I feel you're already house-
AA/BA/F#Asus4
So I made you a hood ornament for an oncoming car
AA/BA/F#Asus4
because your bark might seem bad but I'll show you the scars
AA/BA/F#Asus4
from when the state sent you over to deliver your teeth
AA/BA/F#Asus4
to the heels of your kindred breaking chains from their feet
AA/BA/F#Asus4
and then you wipe your hands clean. Splash of water/paper napkin.
AA/BA/F#Asus4
While the parrots sing headlines, we wear the leash like a fashion.
AA/BA/F#Asus4
Try to take out my claws expect a visceral reaction.
AA/BA/F#Asus4
Try to muzzle me up, I'll lash out, I'll bite back
AA/BA/FAsus4
Keep my options open
AA/BA/F#
for fear of becoming house-
