In the backyard
Where you were raised
For forty years you were wrong, Mrs. Right
Could you pick up the slack
Could you pick up the slack
Would you please wipe the mud
Off my back?
When the backyard breaks
The pantry really shakes
And I always think it’s an earthquake
The above ground pool is big enough for two
But never big enough for you
If you really want a bath
There’s a lake in the back
Good God just wash your crack (get off my back)
And get out of my head
How did you get in here?
The patio light was on
And the keys were under a planter
Well there’s no room for you
I’ve got things to do
Like worry about the future
Your future is mine to eat and keep
Your future is not a future
In the backyard
Where we spent our days
Where the newspapers die
And the birdies try to fly
I hope I can forget this place
