Lyrics
'Hands off our Bullies'
Years of death n' years of pain
Too many dogs cruelly slain
In a world where life is judged on looks
One n' one well it don't make 5
You gotta pay to keep your family alive
Ain't no truth in a law that's based on lies
Ruled by fools that don't make sense
You gotta jump then they raise the fence
You wanna save but they lock your friends away
Ain't no freedom in this wishing well
Ain't no mercy in BSL
Warped power leads the way to hell
So take your hands off our bully breeds
They can't hurt you with a smile
Take your paperwork and measure tape
N' shove it where the sun........... don't shine
N' give it up now!
So you come n' you drag 'em away
Another dog won't see the light of day
What kind of logic do you base your rules upon?
Take a look at the word of law
It's crooked broken but you give it your all
You're locking up the ones who did nothin' wrong
You take our money and you take our hearts
You hit home where it hurts us hard
Too many people makin' a wrong thing worse
It's time for change no more death by type
It's time the government believed in life
Ain't no way to make a wrong thing right
So take your hands off our bully breeds
They can't hurt you with a smile
Take your paperwork and measure tape
N' shove it where the sun........... don't shine
N' give it up now!
So take your hands off our bully breeds
Leave us with the best thing in our lives
Take your paperwork and your measure tape
Shove it where the sun.......... don't shine
So take your wicked hands off our bully breeds
They can't hurt you with a smile
Take your paperwork and measure tape
N' shove it where the sun........... don't shine
And give it up now!
