| We was playin' in the backyard
|
| Sleeping bags, sliding down the stairs
|
| Settin' up army men all day
|
| Then argue as soon as we start to play
|
| Out in the street, playing 500
|
| Fat-ass bush, just dive on it
|
| Pounce on a fence, hop on the garage
|
| 'Cause right now, we the ones in charge
|
| D-Diggin' through the cupboards, Saltines
|
| Some canned food, but all beans
|
| Water balloons, snowballs in the winter
|
| All up in whatever say «do not enter»
|
| But some nights, all the fun went dead-
|
| Mom worked late, and he’s home instead
|
| In our house, there’s no safety zone
|
| W-w-w-when the monster’s home
|
| Cruelty, Humility (Fuck, why?)
|
| The kind of punishment that never goes away
|
| W-w-w-when the monster’s home
|
| Brutality, Humility (Fuck! Fuck!)
|
| The kind of punishment that never goes away
|
| W-w-w-when the monster’s home
|
| The sun always came up again, birds chirping
|
| Kids outside, water guns squirtin'
|
| Fuck it! |
| Ha ha! |
| I’m laughing again
|
| Tuck that shit deep down within
|
| Freeze tag, my brother’s the fastest
|
| Any time we ran, he would blow right past us
|
| We never had money for the ice cream man
|
| (But sometimes wound up with some in hand)
|
| Three Stooges marathons all night
|
| When my mom was home, everything was tight
|
| But she worked a double shift most cases
|
| And left us out late with happy faces (happy faces-)
|
| Ninja night tag, we’re having a ball
|
| Up in the trees or scaling a wall
|
| Till we hear our names called out through the devil’s drone
|
| The monster’s home
|
| Cruelty, Humility (Fuck, fuck)
|
| The kind of punishment that never goes away
|
| W-w-w-when the monster’s home
|
| Brutality, Humility (Oh shit! Fuck!)
|
| The kind of punishment that never goes away
|
| W-w-w-when the monster’s home
|
| It’s supposed to be fun, being a child
|
| Carefree days, and nights go wild
|
| Imagination limitless
|
| Too young for corruption, innocence (innocence)
|
| Runnin', playin', jumpin', screamin'
|
| One headlight, here come the demon
|
| Mom’s at work. |
| Fuck, we’re all alone!
|
| And the monster’s home
|
| Cruelty (Fuck! Fuck!) Humility (Oh shit! Fuck!)
|
| The kind of punishment that never goes away
|
| W-w-w-when the monster’s home
|
| Brutality (Brutality!) Humility (Humility!)
|
| The kind of punishment that never goes away (Never goes away!)
|
| W-w-w-when the monster’s home
|
| (Demon, demon, demon demon)
|
| Brutality (Brutality!) Humility (Humility!)
|
| The kind of punishment that never goes away (Never goes away!)
|
| Brutality (Brutality!) Humility (Humility!)
|
| The kind of punishment that never goes away (Never goes away!) |
