Keep The Kids Inside

In the darkness of the city
Glowing eyes keep an eye on me.
Let's fake responsibility,
Keep the kids inside.

And all the houses seem so empty,
Boarded up for security.
They abide, responsibility
Keep the kids inside.

And all the cast offs and the long shots
Tie a knot around the punks and the have-nots,
Bundle in the streets of it all
And keep the kids inside.

I work a good job I've had a long day,
Down the line I've seen the past (bout a decade).
This is my responsibility,
To keep the kids inside.

I've worn my shoes bare, wore my soles down
On the yellow lines through the heart of this ghost town.
Prepare to be amazed at what you've found
To keep the dream alive.

And all the cast offs and the long shots
Tie a knot around the punks and the have-nots,
Bundle in the streets of it all
And keep the kids inside.
