Two Kids - Anaïs Mitchell

My daddy’s house is the safest of houses

He sealed up the windows so no air gets in

And there’s plenty of Campbell’s, and beers in the basement

In case we can’t get to the store or something

And my daddy told me some people hate us

They even hate me.

I’m just a kid

And I asked how come, but he didn’t answer

So I started thinking it was something I did

I have a bed with a Superman blanket

And he’s not afraid of the dark like me

Sometimes I can’t fall asleep when I’m supposed to

I’m thinking about something I saw on TV

There was this house in a field full of houses

It was the bad guys living in there

And I saw this kid looking out from the window

He didn’t look bad, he only looked scared
