Bob and Mary, just starting out
They got it all, all they need is a house.
Lucky them, they just got pre-approved,
Grease up those elbows you’ve got nothing to lose.
Watch them go to the Home Depot
A Subaru full of wood.
What they don’t know just might kill them
But I don’t imagine it would, but it could.
Stay back, we don’t need a renovator
Stay back, you’re all the same
Stay back, ‘cause you’re sounding like a revelator
Stay back you’re all the same
Bob and Mary, making great strides
Fixed up the windows and they painted inside
Ripped up linoleum to find hardwood floors
A nice new family’s moving in next door
Watch them grow heirloom tomatoes
In the old vacant lots
But still laying low after the sun goes down
To avoid getting robbed, or shot
Stay back, we don’t need a renovator
Stay back, you’re all the same
Stay back, ‘cause you’re sounding like a revelator
Stay back you’re all the same
Way across the water (I hope you’re ready)
Way across the sea (you thought you knew what you were asking for)
Way across the water (get out your wallet)
No one waits for me
Stay back, we don’t need a renovator
Stay back, you’re all the same
Stay back, ‘cause you’re sounding like a revelator
Stay back you’re all the same
Stay back, we don’t need a renovator
Stay back, you’re all the same
Stay back, ‘cause you’re sounding like a revelator
Stay back you’re all the same
