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
Mantenos Adentro
Ha sido un día infernal
Colgamos la bola negra sobre tu amor
Con los perros que entrenamos
Enterrando todo aquello de lo que no estamos seguros
Si abrieras tu puerta, nos encontrarías escondidos detrás de tu cerca blanca
Podrías llamarlo una guerra
Pero no estamos tratando de mantenerte afuera, estamos tratando de mantenernos adentro
(Mantenos adentro, mantenos adentro, mantenos adentro)
Vamos a hablar hasta que estemos claros
Encontrar esa pequeña bola* para aplastar
Matarla hasta que estemos a salvo
Tú, con tu orgullo y alegría
Yo, con mis amigos criminales
Tú, con tu felicidad autoinfligida
Y yo para ponerle fin
Esa es una forma infernal de marcar territorio
Y prohibir un amor
Con los perros que entrenamos
Rechazando todo aquello de lo que no estamos seguros
(Mantenos adentro, mantenos adentro, mantenos adentro)
Tú, con tu orgullo y alegría
Yo, con mis amigos criminales
Tú, con tu felicidad autoinfligida y yo
Voy a hablar hasta que estemos claros
Encontrar un pequeño pantano* para aplastar, matarlo hasta que estemos a salvo
Tú, con tu orgullo y alegría
Yo, con mis amigos criminales
Tú, con tu felicidad autoinfligida, y yo
Yo para hacerlo terminar
