Said: Private Property

This land is homeland
This land is my land
From the chain-link front fence
To the back fence I’ve planned
From the Coxes’ driveway
To the Hingles’ swingset
This land’s surveilled for me to see

Well, they say a man’s home
Is that man’s castle
Where he won’t get harassed
And he won’t get hassled
But thugs are out to get me
And they’re all around me
That’s why this land’s surveilled for me to see

This land is homeland
This land is my land
From the chain-link front fence
To the back fence I’ve planned
From the Coxes’ driveway
To the Hingles’ swingset
This land’s surveilled for me to see

I installed those cameras
Just as a precaution
So that all the hoodlums
Would know that someone’s watchin’ ‘em
I haven’t seen them lurking
So I guess it’s working
This land’s surveilled for me to see

This land is homeland
This land is my land
From the chain-link front fence
To the back fence I’ve planned
From the Coxes’ driveway
To the Hingles’ swingset
This land’s surveilled for me to see

Every night and weekend
You can find me poring
Over all my footage
Though it’s mostly boring
Just kids when school’s out
And the mailman on his route
Is all I’ve surveilled so far to see

This land is homeland
This land is my land
From the chain-link front fence
To the back fence I’ve planned
From the Coxes’ driveway
To the Hingles’ swingset
This land’s surveilled for me to see

So no one’s done a crime yet
But if someone did, though
I know I would catch it
Catch it right on video
And when that happens
I’ll get so much gratitude
They’ll “thank god for your CCTV”

This land is homeland
This land is my land
From the chain-link front fence
To the back fence I’ve planned
From the Coxes’ driveway
To the Hingles’ swingset
This land’s surveilled for me to see
