Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't care what the peephole say
If ya gotta knock, then go away
Oh fears, idears they grow like a weed
Used to was my brain, but dirty thoughts just came and came
No time in life for shit
Spoonful by the pound, ain't having it
Do you practice to preach or pretend to be?
You a tiger, a trash can, royalty?
[Verse 2]
I don't care what the peephole say
Going deaf deliberately
[Chorus]
And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round
And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round
And the shepherd sleeps while the blood seeps into the ground
On the outskirts of town where the headlights bleed
Oh, Teen Angels entangled
[Verse 3]
Blaze
[Verse 4]
I don't care if the people grow
They all say, "Done-did doesn't make it so"
That a school or a prison? Look same to me
I got one eye open and one hand free
I don't care what the people know
The worlds gonna end in a month or so
You may run the institutional learning facility
But you don't run her and you don't run me
[Verse 5]
I don't care what the peephole say
Got a tip for your trip cop, stopying me
[Chorus]
And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round
And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round
And the shepherd sleeps while the blood seeps into the ground
On the outskirts of town where the headlights bleed
Oh, Teen Angels
[Bridge]
Tonight is the night
The kids are taking you to school
Tonight is the night
Setting fires, breaking the rules
Well, tonight is the night
You ain't who we answer to
Tonight is the night
You ain't so fucking cool
We got our eye on you
[Chorus]
And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round
And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round
[Outro]
Tonight is the night
On the merry-go-round
The kids are taking you to school
Well, tonight is the night
On the merry-go-round
So whatchu gonna do?
[Outro]
Tonight is the night
Setting fires, breaking the rules
Well, tonight is the night
Future tripping, skipping school
And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round
Tonight is the night
You ain't who we answer to
And the wolf's on the creep with the sheep on the merry-go-round
Well, tonight is the night
The tables done turn on you
We got our eye on you
