The Fort

We're building up the fort to keep the treasure from the thieves
Building walls nice and strong from dirty snow and fallen leaves
We can hide here from the neighbor kids who act like the police
They won't rest until they get our cigarettes, ditch weed and magazines

[Chorus]

The freeze don't stop them from their patrolling
Those little bastards kick the shit out of you and me
This antifreeze won't thaw out my heart or my arteries

We're building up the fort to keep the treasure from the thieves
And we never stop to think is how things are supposed to be
I have never met the pastor
I have yet to meet the priest
Who can't convince me they're not somewhere burning for eternity

[Chorus]

The freeze don't stop them from their patrolling
Those little bastards kick the shit out of you and me
This antifreeze won't thaw out my heart or my arteries
