That's the dark side of obediance 

That's the dark side of obediance 


When somebody tied my poor dog up 

I found that I was totally stuck 


I'd trained him not to let out a yelp 

That's why he didn't get any help 


Nobody came to help in October 

Nobody came to help in November 

My dog was praiseworthy quiet and sober 

So nobody came to help in December 


So he laid down now on the doorstep and died 

And I'm still sitting here all tied up inside 


That's the dark side of obediance 

That's the dark side of obediance
