Junkyard

Saw a movie where a guy kills another guy twice

Don't know if I can forget about it

Saw a guy finish a fight with a butcher knife slice

Pretty sure I won't forget about it

Is it okay if I say, my mind is not a junkyard

My heart is not a dump for all the gunk around

My spirit's not a junkyard

No, it's holy ground

Saw a photo on the net, can't believe what I see

Don't know if I can forget about it

Two kids where playing in some dirt that'll never come clean

Wish to God I could forget about it

No one's safe till we all say, my mind is not a junkyard

My heart is not a dump for all the gunk around

My spirit's not a junkyard

No, it's holy ground

Wanna keep, keep the temple clean

Gotta keep, keep the temple clean

Try to keep, keep the temple clean

How I do I keep the temple clean

A vicious rumor went around, wrecked my uncle John's life

Guess he never could forget about it

No one's safe till we all say, my mind is not a junkyard

My heart is not a dump for all the gunk around

My spirit's not a junkyard

No, it's holy ground

Is it okay if I say, my mind is not a junkyard

My heart is not a dump for all the gunk around

My spirit's not a junkyard

No, it's holy ground
