| I work all week and the money’s good |
| I like to drink, I think it’s in my blood |
| What I fear, I hold it in |
| But let it show over and over again |
| I’m getting tired but I can say |
| I raised a family, I think they’re safe |
| Who we are will never change |
| We get along day after day after day |
| Oh, terror in the world I know |
| Never in the place I love could we be us |
| Oh, terror if I say I knew |
| Tell me how you want to lose, I’ll let you choose |
| I read the paper, I see you there |
| Bless your children, just don’t come here |
| How can I make it very clear? |
| It’s getting worse year after year after year |
| (Year after, year after) |
| Oh, terror in the world I know |
| Never in the place I love could we be us |
| Oh, terror if I say I do |
| Tell me how you want to lose, I’ll let you choose |
| You’re very different, you understand? |
| I want to like you, just not that bad |
| So this is how I spend my time |
| Making sure you stay on your side of the line |
| Stay on your side of the line |
| You stay on your side of the- |
| Oh, terror in the world I know |
| I don’t think I’ll let it go |
| Cause what if what they say is true? |
| I have to put the blame on you |
| I don’t have the time to learn |
| You have to take my word |
| Oh, maybe when the kids are grown |
| We can take that trip to Rome |
| And see the world beyond our home |
| That is, if we pay our loans |
| They’re overgrown, I’m tired and it’s dangerous enough here |
