I work all week and the money's good I like to drink, I think it's in my blood What I fear, I hold it in But let it show over and over again I'm getting tired but I can say I raised a family, I think they're safe Who we are will never change We get along day after day after day Oh, terror in the world I know Never in a place I love could we be us Oh, terror if I say I knew Tell me how you want to lose, I'll let you choose I read the paper, I see you there Bless your children, just don't come here How can I make it very clear? It's getting worse year after year after year Oh, terror in the world I know Never in a place I love could we be us Oh, terror if I say I knew Tell me how you want to lose, I'll let you choose You're very different, you understand? I want to like you, just not that bad So this is how I spend my time Making sure you stay on your side of the line Oh, terror in the world I know I don't think I'll let it go Cause what if what they say is true? I have to put the blame on you I don't have the time to learn You have to take my word Oh, maybe when the kids are grown We can take that trip to Rome And see the world beyond our home That is, if we pay our loans They're overgrown, I'm tired and it's dangerous enough here
