About

Too Many Puppies was released in protest of war soon before the Iraq war of the 90’s. The puppies are a metaphor of Unite States soldiers trained to blindly follow the command of those in power “so that we may maintain our oil fields.” In the outro of the song Claypool relates to many of the soldier...

Too Many Puppies Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Too many puppies are being shot in the dark
Too many puppies are trained not to bark
At the sight of blood that must be spilled so that we may maintain our oil fields

[Chorus]
Too many puppies
Too many puppies

[Verse 2]
Too many puppies are taught to heel
Too many puppies are trained to kill
On the command of men wearing money belts that buy mistresses sleek animal pelts

[Chorus]
Too many puppies
Too many puppies
Too many pup-pup-pup-pup-pup-pup-puppies
Too many puppies

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Peanut sat on a railroad track
His heart was all a flutter
Along came the train
Toot, toot, peanut butter

[Verse 3]
Too many puppies with guns in their hands
Too many puppies in foreign lands
Are dressed up sharp in suits of green and placed upon the war machine

[Outro]
Too many puppies are just like me
Too many puppies are afraid to see
The visions of the past brought to life again
Too many puppies, too many dead men

[Spoken]
El Sobrante number one
