Retriever Of The Manifest

It's open-minded
It understands
How open-minded can be a narrow man?

If you had your way
Well, I guess it would be gas
It's cheap and simple
And it doesn't leave a mess

You're a dog
Retriever of the manifest
That's hiding in your eyes
Trained to be a poodle
With a mind of the same size

You're a dog
Retriever of the manifest
That's hiding in your eyes
Track down what does not fit in
And tear out the insides

Some survive in churches
Some survive on drugs
Some just stop thinking
Because thinking's dangerous

You took into account
That I would not survive
But to your own surprise
I'm still alive

You're a dog
Retriever of the manifest
That's hiding in your eyes
Trained to be a poodle
With a mind of the same size

You're a dog
Retriever of the manifest
That's hiding in your eyes
Track down what does not fit in
And tear out the insides

Hey little puppy
With your bulldog bark
You get overexcited
When the times get hard

You took into account
That I would not survive
But to my own surprise
I'm still alive

You're a dog
Retriever of the manifest
That's hiding in your eyes
Trained to be a poodle
With a mind of the same size

You're a dog
Retriever of the manifest
That's hiding in your eyes
Track down what does not fit in
And tear out the insides
