That's the dark side of obediance    That's the dark side of obediance       When somebody tied my poor dog up    I found that I was totally stuck       I'd trained him not to let out a yelp    That's why he didn't get any help       Nobody came to help in October    Nobody came to help in November    My dog was praiseworthy quiet and sober    So nobody came to help in December       So he laid down now on the doorstep and died    And I'm still sitting here all tied up inside       That's the dark side of obediance    That's the dark side of obediance
