In Your Backyard

Why live in confusion
There’s no way out
You’ll just end up losing
He started to shout

She smiled to refuse him the chance to begin
He smiled and began again
Saying I’m alive and I’m hungry
Here with my family
Unhappy to be living here

In your backyard
There’s an angry citizen
In your backyard
Outside the home you’re sitting in
In your backyard
Watching all the businessmen
In your backyard
And he lays his head outside the door

There’s doubt in your reason
Reason it out
There’s fear of trees and reason to doubt
Just one big happy family
Fighting it out
Glorified on the battlefield
That’s right there’s a battlefield
Behind the jungle gym
Right by the picnic bench

In your backyard
There’s an unemployment line
In your backyard
There’s a dollar bottle wine
In your backyard
Goes down like turpentine
In your backyard
But it’ll help you fall asleep and forget

In your backyard
You can see a circus clown
In your backyard
Try to put his brother down
In your backyard
And you’ll go along with him
In your backyard
And you’ll let him suck you in
In your backyard
And you’ll practice his religion
In your backyard
And he’ll make all your decisions
In your backyard
Til he turns his back on you
In your backyard
And you’ll do things like you used to do

Thus was born Exit Reunion. ... more
