Dog on a Chain - The Juliana Hatfield Three

You can’t take it anymore

So put me out the back door

And slam it hard shut

I watched you clean up after me

I cut myself and let it bleed

All over your favorite rug

The one you love

It’s persian

Don’t ever let me out of here

Just bring me back some souvenirs from the world

Something i can tear apart

Paper, plastic, flesh or heart

I will destroy everything if i’m set free

So don’t untie me

I had to set these boundaries

Or i’ll run into the street

And get run over by an s.u.v

I bark and growl and drool and snap

Take both hands and pull me back by my neck

I must stay in the fenced-in yard

Scratching myself 'til i’m raw

I’m always hungry for something

For broken skin

I never get any satisfaction

I had to draw these boundaries

'cause i’ll run into the street and get run over by an s.u.v
