lyrics

well you know i'm a die-hard for the fight
terra won't go gently into that good night!
but then our ship got raided,
and my memories faded
and i woke up here domesticated??

now i've got a collar with a shiny bell
and i'm, oddly soothed by my owner's smell
but they havent won!!
no, i won't succumb!!!
to the cuddles, drugs, food, baths, or, um...

WHY does everybody act like i'm a silly pet
their cruel but oddly-hot brainwashing
hasn't crushed this rebel yet!!!
i'll show them all, i'll make them see!
once owner finishes his tea!

well, you know they're evil, but it's not so bad
i get stuff for free that i never had
like pizza, ice cream
healthcare, tea,
and yummy goo called... somethin' G?

and you know i'm a girl, or so i thought
but i like this new pet name A LOT
"good boy" owner said,
with a pat on the head
and wow those are a LOT of emotions that i'm not ready to confront just yet!!!!!

WHY does everybody treat me like a little pet
their cute and oddly hot brainwashing
hasn't crushed my spirit yet!!
i'll show them all, i'll make them see!!
once owner finishes his tea!!

maybe then i'll bite him
rearrange his books at night or
stick some stickers on his core
and prank the captain with the other florets
'cuz i'm a chaos-maker, miscreant, and bedtime-breaker,
oooh

well you know there's no escape, i tried
might as well relax, and bring it down from inside
you know that i'm no traitor
but it's kinda greater
than starvin' to death on a rebel freighter...

so you can hold me in your vines
and tell me "petal you are mine"
make me whimper,
make me whine,
and make me happy
as a horse in brine
but JUST BECAUSE i see a vet
and when you're gone i get upset
don't ever let yourself forget
no! i'm a MENACE, i'm a THREAT!!
you havent caught your quarry yet!!
i'm definitely NOOOOOOT
A PET!!!
