Lyrics Dog on a Chain - The Juliana Hatfield Three

Dog on a Chain

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
