The Generals Dogs by Exit Mouse Lyrics
Not a dog, not a dog
I’m a dogfight
Got a taste for a chase
Through the dark night
Trashin' marks like a shark
Yeah, I’m all bite
And I don’t monkey around
You want a test, I suggest
We’re the wrong team
There ain’t no rest for the best
Always full steam
Don’t get it twisted, this fist
Is a light beam
Our skill to kill is renowned
Can’t waste time chasing down ghosts and shadows
I’ve got bigger shoes to fill
You think my father would be proud of me now
The weight he left here haunts me still
When all the general’s dogs
Can’t keep the apes at bay
Yeah, when the wolves are prowling
That’s when the foxes come out to play
Not a pawn, not a pawn
I’m a red knight
Do or die, never shy
From a scrap fight
Don’t try to tame me with shame
You’re a sound byte
And I don’t monkey around
We can thwart your support
When we take aim
Show disorder no quarter
We take names
You’d better bet my vendetta’s
A white flame
And I’ll be takin’ you down
All my father ever asked of me
Was to learn how to be my own man
My intuition’s never let me down
Surrender’s not part of the plan!
We’re not the general’s dogs
We do things our own way
So when the hounds are howling
That’s when the foxes come out to play
I’m a dogfight
Got a taste for a chase
Through the dark night
Trashin' marks like a shark
Yeah, I’m all bite
And I don’t monkey around
You want a test, I suggest
We’re the wrong team
There ain’t no rest for the best
Always full steam
Don’t get it twisted, this fist
Is a light beam
Our skill to kill is renowned
Can’t waste time chasing down ghosts and shadows
I’ve got bigger shoes to fill
You think my father would be proud of me now
The weight he left here haunts me still
When all the general’s dogs
Can’t keep the apes at bay
Yeah, when the wolves are prowling
That’s when the foxes come out to play
Not a pawn, not a pawn
I’m a red knight
Do or die, never shy
From a scrap fight
Don’t try to tame me with shame
You’re a sound byte
And I don’t monkey around
We can thwart your support
When we take aim
Show disorder no quarter
We take names
You’d better bet my vendetta’s
A white flame
And I’ll be takin’ you down
All my father ever asked of me
Was to learn how to be my own man
My intuition’s never let me down
Surrender’s not part of the plan!
We’re not the general’s dogs
We do things our own way
So when the hounds are howling
That’s when the foxes come out to play
