D Bm Bb A
[Verse 1]
D Bm Bb
I am not a dog on a chain
Bb A
I use my own brain
D Bm Bb
I can turn the conversation off
A
I'm too clever to be robbed
D Bm Bb
I am not a dog on a chain
A
Thanks all the same
D Bm Bb
I have patience and I have time
A
Both of which are mine
[Refrain]
G A
I hear a call, I hear a cry
Bb C
I raise my voice, I have no choice
G A
I raise my hand, I hammer twice
Bb C
I see no point in being nice
[Verse 2]
D Bm
I am not a dog on a chain
Bb A
I use my own brain
D Bm
I do not read newspapers
Bb A
They are troublemakers
D Bm Bb
Listen out for what's not shown to you
A
And there you'll find the truth
D Bm Bb
For in a civilized and careful way
A
They'll sculpture all your views
[Refrain]
G A
So open up your nervous mouth
Bb C
And feel the words come streaming out
G A
In volume, pitch and rising cries
Bb C
Opening your blinkered eyes
G A
For otherwise, you'll never know
Bb C G
Who you are or all that you can do
A Bb
If you want to, if you want to
C
If you want to
D C Bb A D C Bb A
[Verse 3]
D Bm Bb
I am not a dog on a chain
A
You've got to be insane
D Bm Bb
One is company and two is a crowd
A
And crowds are loud
[Refrain]
G A
Oh, maybe I'll be skinned alive
Bb C
By Canada Goose because of my views
G A
Because of the truth, because of my fleece
Bb C
Because of my niece, like drinking ink, the
G
words explode
A Bb
Fatter than fists, louder than blows
C G
Fatter than fists, louder than blows
A Bb
The dead are dead, ice cold and hard
C
To where they can't be overcharged
G A
They have no breath, they have no eyes
Bb C
At least they won't be going twice
D C Bb A D C Bb A
