The Landlords Are Always Watching Lyrics

Peering eyes, they never rest

Through their windows, a constant test

Watching us, every move

In their sights, they disapprove

Volume low, the film's soft sound

Still they ask, to turn it down

Whispers echo like a shout

"Turn it off!" they always tout

Grass so neat, yet they complain

"Keep on mowing," they say again

Even though it's trimmed just right

They never give us any respite

They won't let us live in peace

We don't feel like we can breathe

Every step we take they track

Cut the grass, cut the grass, never any slack

Let us live in peace, in peace, in peace

In peace!! Let us live in peace!

In peace! In peace! Let us live in peace!

Inspectors come, one by one

Again and again, it's never done

Round they go, on their tour

Never any faults, that's for sure

Contractors tread, our sacred ground

No heads up, they just come around

In our garden, unannounced

Police we nearly had to pronounce

Broken boiler, cold showers endure

They won't fix, their hearts impure

Shivering, we make our plea

Ignored, as always, in cold misery

They won't let us live in peace

We don't feel like we can breathe

Every step we take they track

Cut the grass, cut the grass, never any slack

Let us live in peace, in peace, in peace

In peace

An eviction note, without a cause

Their cold hearts, without a pause

Out we go, we have no choice

But we're free at last, let us rejoice

Accusations, walls they scan

"Different color?" Not our plan

We laugh, photos in hand

Try to scam us, we understand

Deposit claimed, their final try

But we're armed, with proof they can't deny

A thousand photos, our defense

Not a penny lost, their recompense

Farewell, landlords at number two

Thank fuck we'll never have to deal with you
