lyrics

Get off of my lawn
You're killing my grass
It rained last night, man
And tires leave tracks

Get off of my lawn
Get your buddy off, too
You might think you're clever
I've got news for you

I'll close the blinds
And stay indoors
The stove'll keep my warm

Get off of my lawn
I'll wipe off that smirk
I know you've no business here
I know you don't work

Get off of my lawn
Got a gun in this drawer
The bullets are somewhere
I don't shoot it anymore

I close the blinds
And stay indoors
The stove will keep me warm

Everyday I read the newspaper
And people I don't know are dead
Part of my is shaken, part is numb
But I fear it's all in my head
How could I not search for an answer?
Younger, I'd have sought it in books
Every night I put on a record
All good songs have hooks

Get off of my lawn
It's the last time I'll say it
I'm calling the cops, man
I've written down your plates

Get off of my lawn
I was in a good mood
The morning's gone sour now
I can't taste my food

I close the blinds
And stay indoors
The stove will keep me warm
