In the front yards stands our pride,
Our only trophies on display mounted high among the wires,
Our monumental achievement.
So the neighbors know of just what we are capable
Just so the neighbors know of what we are capable
I thought what we had, I thought it was a secret
But it's been put onto a tee shirt and now it's gone around the block
But it's come back up in conversation. Relevant again, I am.
With my private parts swinging out all over creation;
Relevant again I am, sans a podium. So stay in the back yard.
Live like the country boys. Play in the tallest of the tall trees.
Live like the freebirds did before you. Stay in the back yard.
Play in the backseat of the old car. Stay where I can see you. My only advice to you is to remain tucked away.
Stay unconvertible, Stay among the infamous.
Stay un-vincible. Hold onto your powers. Stay unflowered. Hold on.
