my cases sit right in front of me
waiting for someone to take me away
alone i sit, my pills are kicking in
you see i'm a dog
and i'm locked in my cage
eyes are red, tongue is hanging out
i'm thirsty as shit and i'm still a dog
fleas don't itch i had a bath the other day
before this trip, wonder where we're going
toys are packed i see my bed is in
my two bowls are somewhere in reach
i'll scratch with rage until i find a way
to get through this cardboard that sits under me
it's cold down here bumpy ride

and my seats not first class, man's best friend
i feel befriended this is a dog's life
ok we're here, things are ok again
a brand new lawn just to welcome me here
scratch my ears and i'll chase down your ball
looks like this new place will be home
for now it won't take much to go
back to sleep after going through all this
wake up tomorrow and we'll do it again
living a dog's life
