Fences all around us, fences
And you think that you can make it
You think that you can make it
They chase you and berate you
But for now it's just the fences
He's the starcutter, go-getter
Gravel road driver
Of drunkard elder members

When they caught him
Harvard educators
Waste their time in diplomas
Effortlessly persecuting
My peers in perpetuity
Probably can't hop the fences
If we keep him too loopy, too goofy
To be throwing fists at anybody in view

He always had a new opportunity
To get in revenge
A fast binge of R-rated violence
Least we teach the others to stop it
Or if someone should step in
So they tackle him hard
And then they aim for his head
I found him running

I said, hot Bob, he just says you're dead
I don't get it
I ask my friend, she doesn't either
She's sweeter, more like a little sister
Her mama's a stripper when I'm with her
She laughing, I joke about the fences
Fences all around us
And you think that you can make it

You think that you can make it
You think that you can make it
Fences all around us
Everyone you know is broken and failing
New shows are rated for everyone
You know is inside these fences
Where the sign is fading, the signal is changing
Broadcasted by the controllers

You snuck in your phone because
I got out before you
You thought they wouldn't hold you accountable
An underwear unattainable
They went looking and found a hole
You call me crying, I found you lying
Out by the pool of blood from
The blow above your throat

You whisper, "I gotta go
I gotta get past these fences"
These fences all around us
And you think you'd make it
You think you'd make it
These fences all around us
And you think you'd make it But you can never go

Call it elopement, depending on who you know
You ask nervous fats, differences between the scenes
Ego takes control and bastardizes the working class
Show up medicated, ready to learn and thinking fast
These teachers don't hold your hand
Give them a bus pass

Maybe I coulda, woulda, shoulda ran
I coulda ran every day but didn't anyway
Maybe I shoulda stayed inside those fences
I found sex, drugs, men and women
With limited time alone in the shower
They check in on us
How long can you hide inside the sleeping bush

For a night, it's forthright
A fair price per share
Just your body, boundless and often
She's next to me talking
About the colors up in the air
I still hear the sounds in the darkness
Marking all of my thoughts and fears
Mopping up every tear
Mobbing on feelings
I had from back in the early years

I still think about all the fences
I still think about all the fences
