Lyrics
Playpen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the cat's away, the mice will play
Beer and drugs and things to say to you, to you
Lots of girls and lots of boys
Loud music and all the toys we need,
We need
We have to go
The neighbors have complained
We have to go
The walls have all been stained
They have to know
They cant stop us now
They have to know
We could burn this town
Old men and kids on the run
Missing teeth and now the damage is Done
It's all been done
Losing battles, losing fights
The police would love to take away our Rights
Our rights
We have to go
The neighbors have complained
We have to go
The walls have all been stained
They have to know
They cant stop us now
They have to know
We could burn this town
