lyrics

i am a dog

over the course of these times, we have been beaten up like dogs.
we have been starved. we have been victims of neglect.
and our histories erased, these are the hands around our necks,
but when you're squeezed this hard you burst, it's cause and effect.

because if you back a dog into a corner,
she will bite you wherever she can.
i am a dog and i will bite you wherever i can.
indiscriminate in rage, we may not issue our demands.
if we are dogs we will bite you wherever we can.

through the panes of broken glass and the shattered pavement stones,
we will be glanced upon and judged by the moralistic.
but what use is a moral code to the daughters of broken promises?
to the sons of abusive technologies? we are the ones who know too well,

that if you back a dog into a corner,
he will bite you again and again.
i am a dog and i will bite you again and again,
and again if i have to.
i am a dog and i will bite you again and again.
and if you back a dog into a corner,
she will lash out and bite you.
i am a dog and i will bite you wherever i can.
