Housebroken

Well, we called off your guard as we entered the yard
 To convince you to redirect some of that rage
 Because who fed you rocks while they ate their thanksgiving
 And who left you out all alone in their cage?
 ♪
 And when you were a pup, well I watched you so close
 You ran straight to the distance allowed by his post
 You got kicked, you got choked, phrases crept up your spine
 When he said "we must keep our bitches in line"
 And on his poker nights, he says the same of his wife
 He's the top-dog, pack leader, a true alpha-male
 So, make no sudden moves, keep your nose from the border
 You move fast, you eat last this side of pecking-order
 ♪
 So, why don't you come with me?
 We've got acres with streams
 We won't keep you in cages, make you beg for your treats
 We won't tell you to heel, though you might need some time to
 Dig up those old bones your young self left behind
 You said, "Your offer is nice but here should suffice
 Yeah, my younger years were something but that isn't my life
 Master is all that I've got
 He keeps me having a purpose
 Gives me bed, keeps me fed
 And I'm just slightly nervous of what I might do
 If I were let loose
 If I caught that mail car
 Or ate garbage for food
 So, as I bare all my teeth
 I will ask of you please to just leave"
 
 Well your heart has spoken
 I feel you're already house broken
 Well your heart has spoken
 I feel you're already house
 ♪
 Well, I made you the hood ornament for an oncoming car
 Because your bark might seem bad but I'll show you the scars
 From when the state sent you over to deliver your teeth
 To the heels of your kindred breaking chains from their feet
 And then you wipe your hands clean, splash of water, paper napkin
 While the parrots sing headlines, we wear the leash like a fashion
 Try to take out my claws expect a visceral reaction
 Try to muzzle me up, I'll lash out, I'll bite back
 And keep my options open
 For fear of becoming house
