Lyrics
The Dog's Life [2024/05/22] [Verse] You lived your life,swore you did it right, did everything you should do. You voted, ate well,got up when you fell and made sure you paid your dues. [Verse] You followed God, and Jesus, His Son, helped those in need. Then you became ill,kept alive with pills, and now you need help to piss, shit and feed. [Chorus] If you were a dog,we'd kill you. Take you out to the backfield. Or call a vet who, for a fee, would make sure your fate's sealed. We don't because we're human having sanctity isn't that nice. 'Causewhen bedridden, in pain, I'd rather have the dog's life. [Verse] They say that death is God's will. It's up to Him to decide. Believe in me, and be saved. "What a crock and a fat lie." Follow my teachings, and I'll let you in because I am the light and the way. But God never explains why the wait is long when your body's racked with sickness and pain. [Chorus] If you were a dog,we'd kill you. Take you out to the backfield. Or call a vet who, for a fee, would make sure your fate's sealed. We don't because we're human having sanctity isn't that nice. 'Causewhen bedridden, in pain, I'd rather have the dog's life. [Bridge] In my humble opinion. God and humankind can eat it. God and doctors play God, with the suffering ones, neither cares one little bit. [Chorus] If you were a dog,we'd kill you. Take you out to the backfield. Or call a vet who, for a fee, would make sure your fate's sealed. We don't because we're human having sanctity isn't that nice. 'Causewhen bedridden, in pain, I'd rather have the dog's life.
