lyrics

We've got the tools and we've got the talent
You've got a voice and I've got a need
Yeah, we've got the tools and we've got the talent
You've got a voice and I'll make it bleed

I'll scream this so you can hear me
Bigger than the watchdogs
Louder than thunder
It's the clapping hands of suckers going under

Picture postcards out in the sun
The wolves are watching, waiting
Waiting and watching
We've got more than enough from where those are from
The wolves are watching, waiting
Waiting and watching

We go on
You'll warm up to me when I come along
Speaking your father's English
On and on
You said that I'd never come back
But trust me I've come back

You never saw me coming
But now I'm off and running
Bigger than the watchdogs
Louder than thunder
It's the waving hands of suckers going under

Picture postcards out in the sun
The wolves are watching, waiting
Waiting and watching
We've got more than enough from where those are from
The wolves are watching, waiting
Waiting and watching

We go on
You'll warm up to me when I come along
Spilling your momma's secrets
On and on
You said that I'd never come back
But trust me I've come back

Bigger than the watchdogs
And louder than thunder
