Cats And Dogs

(album: Start Today - 1989)

Man's best friend is a beautiful and affectionate an ideal pet
Cats are the same, we make up their names and our love for them is real

Listen up, I gotta ask it, how can we be so cruel?
You say you care, that's a lie
My true compassion is for all living things
And not just the ones who are cute so I do what I can
I wanna save lives and I've got a plan

Under the table he'll eat your dinner like the veggies we can't stand
What kind meal would he make? We don't want to ask it
Tradition is all that keeps him alive

Listen up, I gotta ask it, how can we be so cruel?
You say you care, that's a lie
My true compassion is for all living things
And not just the ones who are cute so I do what I can
I wanna save lives and I've got a plan

Why am I so upset?
Don't even own a pet
I am not trying to press my will
I am not the first to say, thou shalt not kill

Full is all we want to feel
We eat to stay alive, but it's their lives we steal
I think we'd like to change, but most of us are stuck
That's why cats and dogs have all the luck
