Dog and His Master
Unraveling Society's Chains
Lyrics
Hey little boy
Addressing a young boy
See the Johnny and Janes
Referring to generic people as Johnny and Janes
Hey little boy
Repeating the address to the young boy
You see them all go insane
Observing people going crazy
Look and see Spot run
Referring to a dog named Spot
Cause he pissed in their hallway
Spot causing trouble by urinating in a hallway
Run Spot run
Encouraging Spot to run away
Run away from it all
Suggesting escape from societal pressures
And I say you can be anyway that you want to be
Expressing the freedom to be oneself
How I'll be that's up to me
Emphasizing personal autonomy
Hey little girl
Addressing a young girl
See them all run around
Noting people running around, possibly in chaos
Hey little girl
Repeating the address to the young girl
You see them all tumble down
Observing people falling or failing
Johnny will boss
Johnny taking charge
Janey will buy
Janey engaging in consumerism
Spot will beg
Spot resorting to begging
But everyone dies
Highlighting mortality
As I said you can be
Reiterating the freedom to choose one's path
Any way that you want to be
Reaffirming personal responsibility
How I'll be, that's up to me
Emphasizing individual agency
One little, two little, three little idiots
Counting foolish individuals
Four little, five little, six little idiots
Continuing the count of foolish individuals
Seven little, eight little, nine little idiots
Conveying the idea of conformity and formal attire
All in suit and tie
Repeating the notion of conformity
One little, two little, three little idiots
Continuing the count of foolish individuals
Four little, five little, six little idiots
-Seven little, eight little, nine little idiots
-All dressed up to die, and I say
Connecting formal attire with impending death
You can be any way that you want to be
Reiterating the freedom to choose one's path
But how I'll be, that's up to me
Emphasizing personal autonomy and responsibility
