Start Heading Home

They watch the talk shows so they
know what they're supposed to talk about.
They watch the news so they'll be
warned on what they should be scared about.
They lock their doors at night so
they've got nothing to worry about.

No they'll be safe tonight.
They'll sleep easy tonight.
They'll be protected
from the outside.

They drop the missles on the
people who were going to hurt us.
They kill the leaders of the
kinds of government that might hurt us.
They keep the outsiders from
getting in to hurt us,

so we'll be safe tonight.
We'll sleep easy tonight.
We'll be protected
from the outside.

And you gotta do some time
to serve your country well.
And you're gonna fall behind
if you can't find something to sell.
And you gotta get out there

who wins every fight.

He keeps a pistol in his
house to make the criminals afraid.
He keeps it loaded so his
five-year-old will never be afraid.
Sometimes he sleeps with it

No he'll be safe tonight.
He'll sleep easy tonight.
He'll be protected
from the outside.

They'll be safe tonight.
They'll sleep easy tonight.
They'll be protected
from the outside.

We'll be safe tonight.
We'll sleep easy tonight.
We'll be protected
from the outside.

We'll be protected
from the outside.
We'll be afraid
of the outside.
We'll be afraid
of the inside.
But we'll be protected
from the outside.
