I Kicked a Hole In Your Fence

I kicked a hole in your fence
I kicked a hole in your fence
I swung my boot until it cracked
I kicked a hole in your fence

You can build it as tall as you like to keep me out
But have no doubt in advance
As soon as I get my chance
I'm coming back
On track
To relentlessly attack
And kick a hole in your fence
And I eagerly anticipate this life-changing experience

A fact
Of the utmost importance
Through the fence
I'll unleash
An army of rodents
A trained and vicious pack of rats

These rats have no fear
They've trained for weeks, months, years
Joy and laughter
Heartache and tears
Rats will penetrate your interior

I kicked a hole in your fence
I kicked a hole in your fence

The rats I released are hungry
And have incredible endurance
I made the hole at night
And left no evidence

Not a pebble
Out of place
No scent
Nor fingerprint
Now you pay for your crimes
We'll start with dollars and cents

Go ahead
Fix your fence
Scoff at the minor expense
It makes no difference

Because no defense
Can prevent
My boot
From kicking
A hole
In what
It is
I'm sworn against!

I kicked a hole in your fence
I kicked a hole in your fence
A violent turn of events
I kicked a hole in your fence

I kicked a hole in your fence
And the rats that attack
Are wide awake and alive
With chattering teeth like sharpened knives
And they gnaw on your furniture
And leave an awful stench
And you will attempt to eradicate them
By leaving your house
And pitching a tent

You will get a taste of how it feels to be without a home paying rent
Your heart palpitating like a failing stent
And all the while
The bills get greater and greater
And much to your chagrin
You will realize that you hired
Grand Commander
The exterminator!

The leader of the rats
What you thought was the end, was just the beginning
You took pills to ignore and pretend
The sad tale of your fading heaven

Little did you know
You were only on the cusp
Of being targeted
Again and again
You paid the one who kicked a hole in your fence
Which could never make up for what you took from me

Life and time
Lonely nights spent
Crying tears of malevolence
Boiling with every swing of my steel-toed boot
As I angrily fume with intense disrespect
Hurting my leg
As I mercilessly kick
A hole in your fence

I kicked a hole in your fence
I kicked a hole in your fence
A violent turn of events
I kicked a hole in your fence

I kicked a hole in your fence
And you came home and screamed
Because your house was pristine?
You felt sweet relief
Finally, an end to the grief
No longer victims
Of a pack of rats and thieves
Who robbed your home of your pitiful dreams
Lackluster scenery
And garden greens

But the truth
That your eyes couldn't see
Was that the joy you were experiencing
Was truthless
Because the plan unleashed
Was both ruthless and toothless
Malicious
And to the feasting rats, delicious
Pernicious

As days go by, and the horror grows weaker
Unbeknownst to you, the foundation attacked by rats cracked
And your problems get deeper
The relief in the here and now
With every creak and improper sound
First raises an eyebrow
And then suspense turns to dread
Dread turns to fear
One by one the cracks continue to appear

First in the ceilings and the walls
Small bits of paint begin to fall
The joy from the garden, the greenery scenes
Turn into agony and laughable screams
And the house you built
On the back of my dreams
Is crumbling
And tumbling
And the reality of life
Is forever stumbling

Worse than it seems
Like catching your balance
On a narrowing beam
Suspended above a bustling street
With the beam extending ahead
As far as your eyes can see
And you, my friend, are forever condemned to walk on the beam

Forever
Condemned
To walk
On the beam

I kicked a hole in your fence
I kicked a hole in your fence
A violent turn of events
I kicked a hole in your fence
