dog has sight feels pain sorry
not quite as dumb as they seem
with or without god's poor judgment
screams just the same to me
leave it up to government
medicine speeds your life away
who shot the cat in the hat
to experiment is insane
fetching bones from the government food bowl
never was a dog's best friend
license to kill

look behind the sentient line
what's alive feels the heat of the flame
the fascist mask media blinds
what's perceived through the tunnel of pain
through slight of hand no one reprimands
the research gone astray
forgotten flesh we're bottle-fed
on a need-to-know basis
teaching lies the little dog cries
the tears of the quiet one's
license to kill

(cuts his crap?)
(cuts his dung?)

wisdom's race false delight
to kill time and time again
tube down the neck
flesh pulled back
to crawl underneath the skin
the corporate death no sentiment
the pain sustained at will
they preach on high morals lie
in this farce called vivisection
what research finds as the animal dies
never did a goddamn thing
license to kill

Transcription by Corey and Sevorg but is somewhat based upon an older transcription by someone unknown to me. Let me know if this was your work. Special thanks to Sevorg for his invaluable contributions.The lines in parentheses are whispered and the above transcription is the best that I can make them out, but is probably pretty far off.

Appeared On:

• In Defense of Animals (various artists)

Total Versions: 1

Live Performances:
possibly as part of the Aftermath/Raw Dog project?

Notes:

• While credited to Skinny Puppy, this track was, in fact, done by Ogre and Rave alone, possibly as part of their Aftermath/Raw Dog project with Rosie Ogilvie. What can be said for sure, however, is that the track features no input from either cEvin or Dwayne.
