Ring your door bell at 2 am
The baby sitter lets us in
We tie her up and wait for you
The innocent family didn't know what we would do
So how ya' doin'?
How's your blood circulating?
Are you ready to die?
Say good-bye to your home
No one treats me like a human being
So I can't respond like a feeling human being
I take lessons from Ma Barker
How to raise and lead my boys
They know mother knows best today
They won't fuss with me or disobey
How ya' feelin'?
Get ready to back down
Are you dyin' now?
Say good-bye to your home
Is this awkward elation that I'm crying?
As I watch this poor family die it's really dying
I'm not sexually attracted to you
But as you cry I'll play with you
We spread her paws do they always laugh?
As you cry and beg us to go back where we came from
So how you feelin'?
Are you ready to die?
How's your life insurance?
How's the college kids?
How's your nice swimming pool?
How you feelin' - tonight?
How you feelin'?
Get ready say good-bye
Say good-bye to your home
Don't pretend I prevent a gun or whips now
I don't like guns or knives but two hard fists now
Binding torture is not what we will give to you
It's just like making love but equal drought's here
Home invader
C'mon that's not what we've been told
Like the home I never had
Like the home I never had
And it makes me feel bad
Oh I am impure
Oh I am not crying
'Cause I need a home

I'm trying to swim above the water but I'm drowning
No one will help me I'm sinking
Help me, help me to swim
I'm drowning I need some right away
I'm sinking...
