My Dog Ate My Homework

my dog ate my homework

my dog ate my homework, my pencil had no lead,

i couldn't come to school today because i was home sick in bed

i'm innocent, the other kids did it, i swear it was their fault

besides, my mommy lies and makes excuses for me

and everyone takes it with a grain of salt

so we learn at an early age how to lie and where to place the blame

in order to pursue our selfish desires, after all it's just part of the game.

but who are we really fooling, not ourselves for sure,

we know full well our motives; to make others feel insecure

and then maybe they'll believe us, maybe they'll take the blame

maybe they won't even see through this asinine head game

and then we can continue to have our way

while they're busy defending our lies

but are they really that naïve that they buy into our silly guise

well it really doesn't matter because we'll do it anyway

we learned very early in life just how to act and what to say

and as long as we can make lame excuses and blame some other one

we get to act self righteous, just like the favorite son

we get to keep our selfish desires and have it all our way

and oh, by the way, was i too busy scheming to tell you?

i lied to you, blamed you, and broke your heart

because my dog ate my homework today...
