ANIMAL SHELTER   

One of these days, I'm gonna fade like a dream   
Chasing your ghost, patting my head like a scream   
Locking me up - taking me out - turning a friend into dust   
Why give me bread, when all you touch ends up dead...   

When did I choose? How did I lose? Set me free!   
Give me a break, my only mistake was to be   
Without a tag, stuffed in a bag, stolen away from my nature   
If I'm the best, how do you treat all the rest?   

Shelter me! Shelter me! Shelter me!   
Shelter me! Shelter me! Shelter me!   
Like a dog! Like a dog! Like a dog!   

Maybe you see, some other uses for me   
Lab in a lab, I'd rather bark up a tree   
Don't wanna stay, why should I play?   
Don't wanna wait by the door   
Give me the ball   
And I just roll over and die...
