I would prefer if you muzzle me,
So I can no longer speak,
But I'm not a good dog,
I've never been.
Kick me out onto the back porch,
I'll lay down in the damp grass,
Alone and ashamed till I sleep.
It doesn't stop at this,
I'd choke on a chain,
Erase my own name,
Sleep in my own piss.
Bash me upside my dumb skull,
So I'll fight the neighbor's dog,
Then rip apart every last good deed,
I love the way you abuse me,
Cause it finally makes me feel sane.
I know I'm right,
I'm a sick, sick dog,
Sinful and totally gone,
Send me to the back of the shed,
And shoot my sorry ass dead.
It doesn't stop at this,
I'd choke on a chain,
Erase my own name,
Sleep in my own piss.
I only ever wanted to be seen,
I only ever wanted to be safe,
I only ever wanted to be known,
I only ever wanted to be loved.
I won't stop at this,
I'll choke on my chain,
And erase my own name,
Cry in a puddle of piss.
