[Verse 1]
I work all week and the money's good
I like to drink, I think it's in my blood
What I fear, I hold it in
But let it show over and over again
I'm getting tired but I can say
I raised a family, I think they're safe
Who we are will never change
We get along day after day after day

[Chorus]
Oh, terror in the world I know
Never in the place I love could we be us
Oh, terror if I say I knew
Tell me how you want to lose, I'll let you choose

[Verse 2]
I read the paper, I see you there
Bless your children, just don't come here
How can I make it very clear?
It's getting worse year after year after year
(Year after, year after)

[Chorus]
Oh, terror in the world I know
Never in the place I love could we be us
Oh, terror if I say I do
Tell me how you want to lose, I'll let you choose

[Verse 3]
You're very different, you understand?
I want to like you, just not that bad
So this is how I spend my time
Making sure you stay on your side of the line
Stay on your side of the line
You stay on your side of the-

[Chorus]
Oh, terror in the world I know
I don't think I'll let it go
Cause what if what they say is true?
I have to put the blame on you
I don't have the time to learn
You have to take my word

[Outro]
Oh, maybe when the kids are grown
We can take that trip to Rome
And see the world beyond our home
That is, if we pay our loans
They're overgrown, I'm tired and it's dangerous enough here
