Security

We’ve traveled together both near and far
Drove back roads in my beat up car
Listened to music and shared our dreams
That we threw away for security.

It’s off to college and study hard
In the closet hid my guitar
Still not sure what I want to be
It’s got to have some job security

It wasn’t long before I landed one
And then a wife and brand-new son
Signed’em both up just like me
So we all could have social security

Chorus:
Security is a two-way street
That runs both ways around our needs
The more we have the less we tend to be

My son goes to school where I know it’s safe
They lock all the doors in that place
I can go to work and not worry
About my son’s learning security

I need a new car, the neighbor has one
Can’t fall behind or be frowned upon
Possessions are what defines me
And my personal security

So we climb the ladder of prosperity
Alarmed the house and the property
Sure feels damn good to be free
I did it for homeland security











Chorus:
Security is a two-way street
That runs both ways around our needs
The more we have the less we tend to be

The President he’s got my vote
To increase defense because he knows
In order to protect excess and greed
You’ve got to have phallic security

Well I’ve got a great retirement plan
Even set aside a parcel of land
I have no anxiety
About financial security

The funeral paid for, so is the plot
I might as well lay down and rot
I’ve got some questions for God you see
About eternal security
