you've breed me to be strong
now you think you were wrong
i am man's best friend
now you want me to meet my end
i live to protect the ones that i love
i'm the best of my breed a step above
i'm as good as you raise me to be
i was not born evil can't you see
i come in different shapes, sizes, and color
i'm here to serve my master just like all the others
my master loves me as if one of their own
when i walk by their side or fetch a bone
here is a little history about my kind
always keep these facts in the back of your mind
i lived in the white house with a president named teddy
during the 1st world war i was an american symbol can't you see
sgt. stubby was the most decorated war dog and this is no lie
i even lived with the little rascals once upon a time
i've lived with brightest man ever known
Thomas Edison he created the light bulb
now that i've given you some history about my kind
let me get back to what's been on my mind
i feel for people who have been attacked
but you cant put all the blame on my back
for i'm a creature put on god's great earth
no knowledge of love or hate before my birth
why do you blame us all for a few bad ones?
do you hate your children because of a few bad sons?
one day i hope you'll realize
for only god has the power to do that deed
so just remember as i run along
its not my breed but your perception that's all wrong
