Bob Mould - Stand Guard lyrics
[Bob Mould - Stand Guard lyrics]
I stand guard day and night to
Watch over me and mine
Oh, I keep at a distance
It suit's me just fine i need no assistance
I stand guard all the time
I meant it as a threat
It's a promise you can keep
Don't want no interference
Standing up in my sleep, oh relax
Stand guard over sea and land
I watch what they've done to this earth
I don't need no master plan
When all the consequences have far
Been outweighed by selfish reward
I feel an obligation
Sometimes I'm not quite sure
What it's towards
There's got to be some reason that
We all keep on living
More often than not we leave this earth
With at least two handfuls of misgiving
I stand guard over what is rightfully mine
I watch all this beauty disintegrating
To stand guard is not enough
Makes me feel like I'm waiting
For something horrendous to happen
But, I stand guard over family and friends
It's all that I can do to stand
Here and watch how this lifetime ends
I've never felt as much as I feel for you now
I'm not about to stand here and watch
This whole world bring you down
I see how it brings you down
But, I will stand guard for you
I will stand guard over you
I see how it brings you down
I see how it brings you down
I can see how it brings you down
See how it brings you down
See how it brings you down, oh
