about
In this track, we tackle, perhaps for the very first time in rock music, the difficulties of growing up and being assimilated into The System.
lyrics
All of these rules make a boy unwell.
All of these ropes left to learn.
There's too much pressure to make yourself
Do good things for a place in hell.
(Howl at the moon, howl at the moon)
'Cause I don't need a lesson on the origins of hate,
Or token declarations that it's time to pray.
I'm pretty easy going when I'm put to sleep —
But if I flex a muscle, bring out the muzzle!
You can be a wolf, you can be a snake.
Get the lion's share or the golden egg.
But maybe losing is the norm.
Dying dogs and eager worms.
'Cause I don't need a lesson on the origins of hate,
Or token declarations that it's time to pray.
I'm pretty easy going when you put me to sleep —
But if I flex a muscle, bring out the muzzle!
'Cause I am not boy. I AM DOG.
You could be noble. Wouldn't you like that?
(My time is wasted on these things.)
You could be productive. Wouldn't you like that?
(My time is wasted on these things.)
And people could love you. Wouldn't you like that?
(My time is wasted on these things.)
Yeah, people could love you, but you bite right back.
(My time is wasted on these things.)
What if the wolf is just a desperate dog?
What if the wolf is just a desperate WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-WOOF?!?!?!?!?!?
'Cause I don't need a lesson on the origins of hate,
Or token declarations that it's time to pray.
I'm pretty easy going when you put me to sleep —
But if I flex a muscle, bring out the muzzle!
'Cause I am not boy. I AM DOG.
All of these ropes left to learn.
There's too much pressure to make yourself
Do good things for a place in hell.
(Howl at the moon, howl at the moon)
'Cause I don't need a lesson on the origins of hate,
Or token declarations that it's time to pray.
I'm pretty easy going when I'm put to sleep —
But if I flex a muscle, bring out the muzzle!
You can be a wolf, you can be a snake.
Get the lion's share or the golden egg.
But maybe losing is the norm.
Dying dogs and eager worms.
'Cause I don't need a lesson on the origins of hate,
Or token declarations that it's time to pray.
I'm pretty easy going when you put me to sleep —
