This song finds the album's antagonist - it doesn't really have a protagonist - a Ringer slumming for a little misery tourism trying to get a guard dog to exceed his duty. Poking the lion as it were.

lyrics

Guard Dog
by clash bowley
copyright 2020

He said "Roll over Rex, sit up and beg!"
Then he laughed and threw a biscuit
Hit me in the leg
I said "I don't do that trick, human,
Sorry if that stings!
Feel free to go back to your pretty, pretty ring!"
He said "You should obey me
I'm superior to you
My kind made you and can break you
Do you have a clue?"

I'm a guard dog, I protect things
I'm a guard dog, that's what I bring

I bristled and I growled while he made a sneer
"Your kind were made to serve
So go serve me a beer!
You don't frighten me pup,
Pathetic if you think!
I'm a human you're a dog
As a sapient you stink!"
I said "I could tear your leg off
and beat you 'tl you're dead,
But I resist your provocation
You get to keep your head!"

I'm a guard dog, I protect things
I'm a guard dog, that's what I bring
