If I were a dog, I wouldn't talk at all I'd be loved for being silent All I'd know would be walls The world wouldn't scare me at all And I'd grow up without the violence Easiest of all, I could catch a ball And it'd be the highlight of the 12 years of my dog life I would be so happy Unaware of the scary I'd have a stick to carry I would be so happy Wouldn't feel so heavy And I'd have a stick to carry I'd be two feet tall And it wouldn't confuse me at all When I don't recognize myself in the mirror And just with one small call I'd know to run down the hall I wouldn't be ashamed to eat my dinner I would be so happy Unaware of the scary I'd have a stick to carry I would be so happy Wouldn't feel so heavy And I'd have a stick to carry And if I were a dog, I'd have no school, no job I would stay in my room all afternoon I wouldn't think twice to eat I wouldn't think twice to sleep I'd go on a walk And walk till I can't walk And I'd always be so happy Nobody should bury me And I'd have a stick to carry And if I were a dog, I wouldn't have to belong I wouldn't be alone I'd always be at home And I'd always be so happy With no baggage to bury And I'd have a stick to carry
