White Picket Fence Lyrics

They say friendly hands makes the work go faster

But I've never got from my friends what I'm after

Come on

No I'm not sure what the hell I'm doing

All I know is that I have to do it

Come on

It's like that fence... when you tell 'em its for their own good

Pretty soon you've got the whole neighborhood

Nobody gives it a closer look

It's a good thing no one's read the book

When you're down on your knees from the world's evil

And it's hard to see the good in people

I know

You can take comfort & solace in loved ones

Or maybe the person who you really loved once is gone

It's like that fence: It's a job you know you have to do

But you wish it could be done without you

It's the best thing you could possibly do

Get it done but leave no trace of you

When you're gone there'll be no memory of you

But the fence will still stand white & true
