lyrics

House Arrest

Mindin’ our own business, goin’ ‘bout our lives
It was a time like any other, wasn’t nothin’ new
No cares or worries weighin’ heavy on our minds
But that would change before the day was through

They locked us all down, gave orders to stay at home
They shuttered our town, made us stand alone
They call it quarantine, they say it’s for the best
Call it what they mean, I call it house arrest


Seems like it’s been forever, with no end in sight
Ain’t no time off for good behavior, ain’t no parole
We all hear them digging, every day and every night
How long before they pitch us in that hole

They locked us all down, gave orders to stay at home
They shuttered our town, made us stand alone
They call it quarantine, they say it’s for the best
Call it what they mean, I call it house arrest

They locked us all down, gave orders to stay at home
They shuttered our town, made us stand alone
They call it quarantine, they say it’s for the best
Call it what they mean, I call it house arrest
 
Arresto domiciliario

Metidos en nuestros asuntos, viviendo nuestras vidas
Un tiempo como cualquier otro, nada nuevo
Ningunas preocupaciones pesando en nuestras mentes
Pero eso cambiaría antes de que terminara el día

Nos encerraron a todos, con órdenes de quedarnos en casa
Cerraron nuestro pueblo, nos hicieron enfrentarlo solos
Lo llaman cuarentena, dicen que es lo mejor
Llámalo como quieren decir, lo llamo arresto domiciliario

Parece para siempre, sin fin a la vista
Sin descuento por buen comportamiento, sin libertad condicional
Escuchamos la excavación, todos los días y todas las noches
Cuánto tiempo hasta que nos echen en ese agujero

Nos encerraron a todos, con órdenes de quedarnos en casa
Cerraron nuestro pueblo, nos hicieron enfrentarlo solos
Lo llaman cuarentena, dicen que es lo mejor
Llámalo como quieren decir, lo llamo arresto domiciliario

Nos encerraron a todos, con órdenes de quedarnos en casa
Cerraron nuestro pueblo, nos hicieron enfrentarlo solos
Lo llaman cuarentena, dicen que es lo mejor
Llámalo como quieren decir, lo llamo arresto domiciliario
