Bob Mould - Stand Guard Lyrics
Stand guard over what is mineStand guard day and night to watch over me and mineI keep at a distance, it suits me just fineI need no assistance, I stand guard all the timeI meant it as a threatIts a promise you can keepDont want no interferenceStanding up in my sleepStand guard over sea and landI watch what theyve done to this earth, I dont need no master planWhen all the consequences have far been outweighed by selfish rewardI feel an obligation sometimes Im not quite sure what its towardTheres got to be some reason that we all keep on livingMore often than not we leave this earthWith at least two handfuls of misgivingI stand guard over what is rightfully mineI watch all this beauty disintegratingTo stand guard is not enoughMakes me feel like Im waiting for something horrendous to happenBut I stand guard over family and friendsIts all that I can do to stand here and watch how this lifetime endsIve never felt as much as I feel for you nowIm not about to stand here and watch this whole world bring you downI see how it brings you downBut I will stand guard for youI will stand guard over you
