Service Animal

lyrics

Service animal
Dogs are barking all the time
the crime rate’s 98%
My stress level is worse still yet
Sometimes I need a pat on the head

But I hope my master don’t forget
I’m a service animal not a pet
Come when i’m called
Stay when they say sit
Do what I’m told
And that is it

Got no control
I’m swinging blind
At a piniata
Full of hard times
I’m crossing streets
with no stop signs
The cars go by a million times

The city’s a cesspool of sweat
My soul won’t cover half my debt
No place to rest
No place to shit
Got nothing in my slop bucket

But I hope my master don’t forget
I’m a service animal, not a pet
taught to roll over and play dead
taught to beg for the scraps I get

the teach me tricks, they trick me, I
submit so they don’t kick me I
submit when they still kick me
I guess they really get me
Got a collar round my neck

I wear it ‘cause it fits me
But now and then it hits me
I’m an animal not a pet
I’m still wild, a little bit
You’re all animals like me too
you take just what you need to
but you bite the hand that feeds you
If they don’t put food in it
