I hear the sirens coming
Who are they coming for
Is it a brawl or a car smash
Maybe someone stole some cash
Or Is someone lying on the floor?
While their child screams for help
Suburban streets hide mayhem
Behind closed doors
Did he beat her black and blue?
Did the cops come through?
Or did they wait?
‘He’s a good bloke, he’s a mate…
‘….. oh fuck we’re too late’
Anyway
I’m OK – today
Close the door and stay
It’s safer here …
