Keep Us In

It's been a hell of a day

We hung the black ball over your love

With the dogs that we trained

Burying anything that we're not sure of

If you'd open your door, you'd find us hiding behind your white picket fence

You could call it a war

But we're not trying to keep you out, we're trying to keep us in

(Keep us in, keep us in, keep us in)

Gonna talk until we're straight

Find that tiny ball* to crush

Kill it til we're safe

You, with your pride and joy

Me, with my criminal friends

You, with your self-inflicted happiness

And me to make it end

That's a hell of a way to put a mark down

And outlaw a love

With the dogs that we trained

Fighting off anything that we're not sure of

(Keep us in, keep us in, keep us in)

You, with your pride and joy

Me, with my criminal friends

You, with your self-inflicted happiness and me

I'm gonna talk until we're straight

Find a tiny bog* to crush, kill it til we're safe

You, with your pride and joy

Me, with my criminal friends

You, with your self-inflicted happiness, and me

Me to make it
