Youth culture killed my dog

And I don't think it's fair

And his suicide can be justified

By the taste makers, how they cried and cried

Bacharach and David used to write his favorite songs

Never would he worry, he'd just run and fetch the ball

But the night lights and my dog's life aren't exactly one and the same

Youth culture killed my dog

And I don't think it's fair

And the judgment made in the city of hate

Just broke his spirit so

Bacharach and David used to write his favorite songs

Never would he worry, he'd just run and fetch the ball

But the hiphop and the white funk just blew away my puppy's mind

I don't understand what you did to my dog

Youth culture killed my dog

And I don't think it's fair

And his suicide can be justified

By the taste makers, how they cried and cried
