lyrics

They’re not speaking his language
In fact they’re yelling in some foreign horrid tongue
And they’re not his generation
Every word sounds like spitting dirt on his street
On history

And all his time is spare and all the blame is theirs
So he’s working on a secret secret in the
back shed
And the fumes go to his head
And he’s thinking about retreating south
just to stay ahead
You’ve got to stay ahead

And he says he’s Loyal
Shiver down my spine
Such a dangerous word in these times

But he lives by an eye for an eye and he’s living so sadly
And he’s amassing an army from the inside
And he’s biding time ‘til you fall out of line
Stay on his good side
It’s all fun and games 'til you lose an eye

And on the busses and in the public spaces he feels them moving in
Tapes things to his body to keep them away from him
And they’re alien with a thicker skin
and they do not love their children

And he says he’s Loyal
Shit I don’t know why
Such a dangerous word to be using in these times

But he lives by an eye for an eye and
he’s living so sadly
And he’s amassing an army from the inside
And he’s biding time ‘til you fall out of line
Stay on his good side
It’s all fun and games 'til you lose an eye
