A breed? No, a series of breeds. | |
It’s not a single type or a single gloss, | |
but they’re singled out at half the cost. | |
Cast off and cast out and almost lost | |
is the innocent cry of a life embossed. | |
The innocent cry of a life embossed. | |
A judgment based in human error. | |
A snap decision made in crippling terror. | |
A sentence passed down from shaking hands. | |
Caving and twisting to frightened demands of the disillusioned masses | |
to slap the wrist of the “lower classes” of life. | |
To slap the wrist, to slap the... wrist | |
It will be no defense, despite the nurturing influence. | |
The nature’s decided, the plan is divine. | |
And if you should feel remorse anywhere inside you throughout the course | |
of this abomination, you should feel grateful- | |
grateful to feel anything at all. | |
Grateful to feel anything at all. | |
Grateful to feel anything. | |
Grateful to feel anything. | |
You are the heartless. | |
You are the soulless beast. | |
You are trained to kill, but unwilling | |
You are trained to kill, but unwilling to bear witness. | |
Grateful to feel anything at all. | |
Maybe you should concentrate | |
on the vicious people and the alarming rate | |
of murderers and drug dealers with whom you share | |
no regard for life before you set and ensnare the same victims. | |
Outlining the qualities by combining varied breeds. | |
Breed specific legislation falls flat on its only short snout. | |
A death squad assembled. Why put up a fight? | |
The round up resembles a Crystal Night. | |
In relation to temperament, they pass with an overwhelming percent. | |
The American pit bull v. the American dream. | |
The task is ours to keep our dogs and children safe. | |
Disregard the media, or the province, or the state. | |
With a different target every decade or so, | |
you can wait until they break into your home. | |
Repeat the lies you’ve bought and sold and say, “You should look up the facts” | |
when you should look up the facts your fuckin’ self. | |
Or you could stand for a dog that’s not your own because your own damn dog is next. | |
I’m proud of every pit bull, but ashamed of my own country. | |
I oppose any legislature that should try and stop me | |
And if a pit bull is a weapon, you’ll have to pry them | |
And if a pit bull is a weapon, you’ll have to pry them | |
I won’t stop until they lift these, these ridiculous bans. | |
And if a pit bull is a weapon, you’ll have to pry them | |
And if a pit bull is a weapon, you’ll have to pry them from my cold, dead hands. |
