In My Backyard Lyrics

[Verse 3 - Yas Taalat & Bobby McIntosh]
I found a Message in a Bottle so I called the Police
I met a Material Girl who said Poppa Don't Preach
They say love bites like an angry Def Lepperd
Like a Nine Inch Nail being pushed in by Trent Rezner
I got a Sex Pistol and a Gang of Bloodhounds
Who walked up to a House of Pain and made Lethal Jump Around
I ate Chop Suey while watching System of a Down
Fell asleep in Linkin's Park and woke up in Marcy's Playground
Sniffing White Stripes with a Seven Nation Army
Waiting for Marilyn Manson to egg it on me
Purple haze got me lost in mix tapes
Oops, I did it again, and I made Britney Spears my slave
I made it to Brooklyn and I still can't sleep
I got a Radiohead, now they call me a creep
I parachute on a cold day, when I Coldplay the streets
I'm dying to be famous, like both of J-lo's ass cheeks

[Hook - Yas & Bobby]
There's a million zombies in my backyard, backyard
And they all wanna be rapstars, rapstars
They need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up
You need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up
There's a million zombies in my backyard, backyard
And they all wanna be rockstars, rockstars
They need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up
But you need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up
You need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up
You need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up
But you need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up
