Jack Foster III - Civilized Dog lyrics

He has the best of manners Polite bark and no bite He wags his tail when spoken to He never picks a fight He waits to have his feet wiped When he comes in from the rain He loves to have his belly scratched He never raises Cain He's a civilized dog Never howls at the moon He leaves that to me And I'll be howling soon A civilized dog He never rolls in the mud That's what I want to do I want to run for the blood When nature is a beast In hand-me-down threads You can cover up the wolf But what big teeth he has! And when he sleeps he dreams You know he's dreaming most the day That he's running with the pack That he's chasing down some prey He's a civilized dog Never howls at the moon He leaves that to me And I'll be howling soon A civilized dog He never rolls in the mud That's what I want to do I want to run for the blood That dog's a lot like us Happy but a bit repressed We sit when we are told And we want to be possessed So we're doing tricks for treats Until the new wears off Then we both can be Civilized dogs We're civilized dogs Howling at the moon If you're not howling now You'll be howling soon We're civilized dogs But we can roll in the mud That's what we want to do We want to run for the blood
