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
