I Am A Dog

D A Bm G D A D


[Verse]
         D               A
over the course of these times,
             Bm             G
we have been beaten up like dogs.
             D
we have been starved.
             A             Bm    G
we have been victims of neglect.
        D           A
and our histories erased,
              Bm               G
these are the hands around our necks,
                D                      A
but when you're squeezed this hard you burst,
                D
it's cause and effect.


[Chorus]
                      D          A
because if you back a dog into a corner,
         Bm                    G
she will bite you wherever she can.
       D              A                   D
i am a dog and i will bite you wherever i can.
     D            A                Bm          G
indiscriminate in rage, we may not issue our demands.
          D            A                    D
if we are dogs we will bite you wherever we can.


[Instrumental]
D A Bm G D A D


[Verse]
            D               A
through the panes of broken glass
        Bm                 G
and the shattered pavement stones,
           D                A                 Bm     G
we will be glanced upon and judged by the moralistic.
         D              A
but what use is a moral code
       Bm                  G
to the daughters of broken promises?
       D                   A
to the sons of abusive technologies?
           Bm                G
we are the ones who know too well,


[Chorus]
                   D          A
that if you back a dog into a corner,
        Bm                  G
he will bite you again and again.
       D              A                    Bm
i am a dog and i will bite you again and again,
               G
and again if i have to.
       D              A                   D
i am a dog and i will bite you again and again.
                  D          A
and if you back a dog into a corner,
    Bm                G
she will lash out and bite you.
       D              A                   D
i am a dog and i will bite you wherever i can.
