lyrics

Shut-Ins

Oh I look over this land
and what do I see?
each little house in
its own misery

it's not a pretty sight, no
it's not a pretty sight
it's not a pretty sight, no
it's not a pretty sight

Where will we go out tonight?

And now we both sit here
facing the walls
back to each other
when duty calls

there's nothing you can say, no
there's nothing you can say
there's nothing you can say, no
there's nothing you can say

we're hiding away, yeah
we're hiding inside
no more commotion
it's cut and it's dried

Where will we go out tonight?

Oh each to their own
of that there's no doubt
we're locking the doors
we're shut in and shut out

we're staying in at night, yeah
we're staying in at night
we're staying in at night, yeah
we're staying in at night

and when we go out,
go out in the day
we just do our business
then go on our way

Where will we go out tonight?
