Cats and Dogs Lyrics by H2O

Don’t Forget Your Roots

2011

[Verse 1]
\nMan's best friend is beautiful
\nAffectionate, an ideal pet
\nCats are the same, we make up their names
\nAnd our love for them is real
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nListen up, I gotta ask you, how can we be so cruel?
\nYou say you care, that's a lie
\nMy true compassion is for all living things
\nAnd not just the ones who are cute so I do what i can
\nI wanna save lives and I've got a plan
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nUnder the table he'll eat your dinner
\nLike the veggies we can't stand
\nWhat kind of meal would he make?
\nWe don't want to ask it, tradition is all that keeps him alive
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nListen up, I gotta ask you, how can we be so cruel?
\nYou say you care, that's a lie
\nMy true compassion is for all living things
\nAnd not just the ones who are cute so I do what i can
\nI wanna save lives and I've got a plan
\n
\n[Outro]
\nWhy am I so upset?
\nDon't even own a pet
\nI'm not trying to press my will
\nI'm not the first to say thou shalt not kill
\nFull is all you want to feel
\nWe eat to stay alive, but it's their lives we steal
\nI think we'd like to change, but most of us are stuck
\nThat's why cats and dogs have all the luck\n\n
