The Brute


How can you hit, kick, and drag a brute?

Throw them in a pit for your own amusement?

It's people like you that should get the boot

 

Why do you wonder why you're in disrepute?

How about I treat you like a handful of dirt?!

How can you hit, kick, and drag a brute?

 

How can you live a lifestyle so dissolute?

Why doesn't someone force you into pain and suffering?

It's people like you that should get the boot

 

What encourages this pursuit?

Why don't you channel this filth into something positive?

How can you hit, kick, and drag a brute?

 

After the abuse you walk with your horn to toot

Why is it a game that your dog killed another?

It's people like you that should get the boot

 

Let me take your dog and you can scoot,

It's apparent he is just an "it" to you

How can you hit, kick, and drag a brute?

It's people like you that should get the boot
