(Verse 1)
Yo, listen up, let me tell you a story,
'Bout a company called Bark, claimin' they got glory,
Parental control's their game and what they sell,
But I gotta speak out 'cause there's some stories to tell.

(Chorus)
Bark, bark, barking up the wrong tree,
Thinkin' you can control my family.
But your algorithms ain't foolproof or tight,
It's time to shine the spotlight on your oversight.

(Verse 2)
You say you protect kids from online threats and more,
Monitoring their messages down to the core.
But privacy concerns arise with every scan,
Invading our lives like an unwanted man.

(Bridge)
We all want safety for our children online,
But trust should be earned, not just a thin line.
Bark may mean well in its noble quest,
Yet it's crucial to question how far we invest.

(Chorus)
Bark, bark, barking up the wrong tree,
Thinkin' you can control my family.
But your algorithms ain't foolproof or tight,
It's time to shine the spotlight on your oversight.

(Verse 3)
Let kids grow and learn without constant surveillance
Teach them responsible use through guidance and patience
Respecting privacy is key in this digital age
So let's find better solutions that truly engage

(Outro)

Bark may have good intentions at heart
But let’s rethink monitoring from the start
Empower families with knowledge instead of fear
That’s how we'll create an atmosphere sincere.

Phrase commonly used in the military for blowing the hell out of an enemy position. Plenty of bombs, missles, bullets etc.
