Lyrics

As I sit here in my timeless cage
While my whole life just waste away
I don't know too much about 
The world outside

But I know there's something very wrong
My heart just sings a sad old song
And I don't know why my life goes on
And I feel no pride

chorus
This is life in a puppy mill
I want to run and play but I never will
To be cadged is sad but sadder still
Is to live your life in a puppy mill


I live in fear, I'm afraid of men
I don't know how to be a friend
'Cause I've never been outside this pen
Just to lie in the sun

My eyes are blind and my feet are splayed
My coat is soiled and my teeth decade
I'm a victim of the puppy trade
And I have no one

chorus

No shelter from the bitter cold
No soothing touch when I get old
No one there to bless my sole
When I die

I'm just a dog, I'm not a man
And I will never understand
Why life should have to be so cruel
And so confined

chorus
