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
