📜 Lyrics
oh little dog wagging your tail, you’re so cute little dog
but you’re never gonna be smart like a man
never gonna build a bridge or philosophize
or write a song that brings a tear to my eye
like Shostakovich did, can you hear it?
never gonna stare up at the universe overcome with emotion
that only a human being can feel
which brings me to my point and my point is real
human beings are amazing
yeah, human beings are amazing cause we’re capable of love,
capable of of empathy for the man across the street
someone we didn’t even meet with a tear rollin down their cheek
what is that inside of you inside of me, I don’t know
do you love someone? you’re better than a dog,
everybody knows dog don’t really love and if he acts like he do
you leave seven days later he forgot about you
would you compromise? you’re better than a dog
everybody knows dogs don’t compromise
and if they do, they’re an exception to the rule
would you share your food? you’re better than a dog
everybody knows dogs don’t share their food
if there’s one thing a dog does not do, it’s share his food
but I’m not here to hate dogs, I’m here to love human beings
yeah human beings are amazing even if we make a mistake
even if we do something wrong, even if we hurt someone
have you made a mistake? I still think you’re amazing
have you done something wrong? I still think you’re amazing
have you hurt someone? I still think you’re amazing
you wanna know why? ‘cause you can lie to me
you can lie when you see that the truth is not easy
and if there’s one thing a dog cannot do, it’s lie
but sometimes I wish I was a dog ‘cause I don’t wanna get cynical
and sometimes its hard not to get cynical in this crazy tyrannical world
like when you think about war, like when you think about
rich people fucking over the poor
when you think about monopolies on the information that we see
what’s in front of you and me, what you’re led to believe
it’s in the hands of some rich man deciding what comes to you
and what you understand
when you think about barrel bombs falling from the sky
like when you think about the tears in the mamas’ eyes as they cry
when you think about private prisons
with thousands of men and women in 'em
working for a dollar fifty a day
gotta pay five dollars for a tube of toothpaste
gotta pay 20 dollars for a calling card just to call his mom
to the same corporation that has him there for a profit
I don’t know about you, but to me that just seems wrong
that’s why I’m singin this song
you better stay on the right side of the law little dog
‘cause if you don’t stay on the right side of the law
they’re gonna call the men, they’re gonna come in a van
they’re gonna pull out a syringe, they’re gonna fill it with liquid
you’re gonna feel your life go dark
you better stay on the right side of the law yeah
cause if you don’t stay on the right side of the law
we live in a tyrannical world
but you’re never gonna be smart like a man
never gonna build a bridge or philosophize
or write a song that brings a tear to my eye
like Shostakovich did, can you hear it?
never gonna stare up at the universe overcome with emotion
that only a human being can feel
