Fences
(This is us)
Us and them
That's the way it all begins
It's us and them
Just pull the rope until it gives
We're on an island
You're on one side of the fence
Verona's quiet, but the water's violent
And we watch it overflow
We're afraid of death and taxes
And those liberal romantics
On the other side of the pew
Still just the same antics
We just tend to have a
Very different point of view
Us and them
That's the way it all begins
Us and them
Capsized we tip over
Then a cold tide flooded your lungs
While they cheered for another re-run
Then they said: "it's better them than if us"
So we trust
(This is them)
We can barely pay the rent again
The credit cards our parents gave
We'll spend our lives trying to repay
You broke your back beneath the weight
The bedroom walls are starting to decay
The 80's dads lied to your face
We pulled on ropes until they frayed
Then replaced the ropes we broke with chains
I couldn't throw the past away
Change is far too hard for me to take
Change is pulling on my brain these days
And I just wanna get away
It's us and them
Don't you wanna pay off your debt?
It's us and them
Don't you wanna pay off your debt?
It's us and them
(I can't watch as it all slips away)
Don't you wanna pay off your debt?
It's us and them
(I can't watch as it all slips away)
Oh don't you wanna pay off your debt?
Us and them
That's the way it all begins
It's us and them
Just pull the rope until it gives
We're on an island
You're on one side of the fence
Verona's quiet, but the water's violent
And we watch it overflow
We're afraid of death and taxes
And those liberal romantics
On the other side of the pew
Still just the same antics
We just tend to have a
Very different point of view
Us and them
That's the way it all begins
Us and them
Capsized we tip over
Then a cold tide flooded your lungs
While they cheered for another re-run
Then they said: "it's better them than if us"
So we trust
(This is them)
We can barely pay the rent again
The credit cards our parents gave
We'll spend our lives trying to repay
You broke your back beneath the weight
The bedroom walls are starting to decay
The 80's dads lied to your face
We pulled on ropes until they frayed
Then replaced the ropes we broke with chains
I couldn't throw the past away
Change is far too hard for me to take
Change is pulling on my brain these days
And I just wanna get away
It's us and them
Don't you wanna pay off your debt?
It's us and them
Don't you wanna pay off your debt?
It's us and them
(I can't watch as it all slips away)
Don't you wanna pay off your debt?
It's us and them
(I can't watch as it all slips away)
Oh don't you wanna pay off your debt?
