Stand Guard — текст песни (Bob Mould)

Stand guard over what is mine

Stand guard day and night to watch over me and mine

I keep at a distance, it suits me just fine

I need no assistance, I stand guard all the time



I meant it as a threat

Its a promise you can keep

Dont want no interference

Standing up in my sleep



Stand guard over sea and land

I watch what theyve done to this earth, I dont need no master plan

When all the consequences have far been outweighed by selfish reward

I feel an obligation sometimes Im not quite sure what its toward



Theres 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 Im waiting for something horrendous to happen

But I stand guard over family and friends

Its all that I can do to stand here and watch how this lifetime ends



Ive never felt as much as I feel for you now

Im 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
