Tom: D
D A Bm G D A D
[Verse]
D A
over the course of these times,
Bm G
we have been beaten up like dogs.
D
we have been starved.
A Bm G
we have been victims of neglect.
D A
and our histories erased,
Bm G
these are the hands around our necks,
D A
but when you're squeezed this hard you burst,
D
it's cause and effect.
[Chorus]
D A
because if you back a dog into a corner,
Bm G
she will bite you wherever she can.
D A D
i am a dog and i will bite you wherever i can.
D A Bm G
indiscriminate in rage, we may not issue our demands.
D A D
if we are dogs we will bite you wherever we can.
[Instrumental]
D A Bm G D A D
[Verse]
D A
through the panes of broken glass
Bm G
and the shattered pavement stones,
D A Bm G
we will be glanced upon and judged by the moralistic.
D A
but what use is a moral code
Bm G
to the daughters of broken promises?
D A
to the sons of abusive technologies?
Bm G
we are the ones who know too well,
[Chorus]
D A
that if you back a dog into a corner,
Bm G
he will bite you again and again.
D A Bm
i am a dog and i will bite you again and again,
G
and again if i have to.
D A D
i am a dog and i will bite you again and again.
D A
and if you back a dog into a corner,
Bm G
she will lash out and bite you.
D A D
i am a dog and i will bite you wherever i can.
