Guards Lyrics

They guard the hearts of the women and men

They'll swim through the muck just to save them

They keep it in check

It's the way to be

It all burns away eventually

They guard our minds from our wrong-ish thoughts

Tell us things that we weren't taught

Our new-wave views and our guilty garb

Our false confidence and our false alarms

This is a false alarm

They do no harm

They charm

The moral men and their moral panic

It's a feast for your eyes

It's dynamic

The moral men

This is a moral panic

It's a feast for your eyes

A feast for your eyes

They guard us from ourselves and more

Guard our spirits from the floor

Guard us like we'd guard ourselves

Guard us till we frame ourselves

Guard the good guys from the bad

They never branch out

They make the game sad

They break the knees and make up the faces

Till the good guys and the bad guys

They swap places

Take a look at their faces

Or their braces

They're not racist

The moral men with the moral panic

It's a feast for your eyes

It's dynamic

The moral men

This is a moral panic

It's a feast for your eyes

A feast for your eyes

Kill it dead stone

Burn it somewhere down

Break up

Break out

They guard the night

They guard it from the youths all right

They guard the youths in the balaclavas

Guard us and them in this grave palaver

They guard the dawn and they guard the dogs

Leave us guarded and they leave us in floods

Of empty arms and guarded stares

Guard us so hard

So we know they cared

Kill it dead stone

Burn it somewhere down

The moral men and their moral panic

It's a feast for your eyes

It's dynamic The moral men

This is a moral panic

It's a feast for your eyes
