Some say they hail from Wisconsin, some say their accents on stage betray a New Jersey heritage and some people think they’re just Chixdiggit in disguise, but one thing’s for sure, Blue and the gang have been crafting some of the sweetest pop-punk gems about breaking and entering, stalking, and muggings that you’ve ever heard. Not many grown men in ski masks can claim to be the very favorite band of Fat Mike’s daughter, for example (not many men in ski masks should be around children at all) but that’s what makes Masked Intruder so special. They’re more than a gimmick. They’ve got chops. They’re weird, kinda arty, fairly goofy, vaguely dumb, relentlessly smart and they appeal to pretty much everyone, from their fellow hardened criminals to little girls and everyone in between.
Now, they’re back on the lam in support of M.I., featuring thirteen tracks of broken hearts, broken promises and breaking and entering. Recorded by Matt Alison at Atlas Studios in Chicago (Alkaline Trio, Lawrence Arms, Menzingers), M.I. boasts the Intruders at their toe tapping, jewelry stealing best. I mean, if there’s a better title for a love song than Don’t Run Away, I sure as hell haven’t heard it.
In support of M.I., and in order to stay a step ahead of their parole officers, the Intruder duders are hitting the road nonstop, traversing the globe, from Europe to Australia to the US of A, with bands like the Dwarves, Face To Face and more, bringing their heart-stealing songs to the people, all while merch dude, stage security and exquisitely mustached lawman Officer Bradford makes sure that hearts are the only things Masked Intruder steals. Officer Bradford may not wear a smile during a Masked Intruder show, but everyone else in the house sure is, and you can bet your ass that whether live or on record, the boys in Masked Intruder are sure to have you singing along and looking for your wallet. Oh, that prison in Louisiana is called Angola. Score one for memory. Take that, Google.

When I get out
When I get out
When I get out
When I get out
(When I get out)
I'm gonna find the pig that put me away
(When I get out)
I'm having ice-cream every day
And pizza every night
(When I get out)
I'm gonna follow my own rules
Do whatever the fuck I want
(When I get out)
Every single thing is gonna be cool
All of my problems are gonna be gone
(When I get out)
Oh, you better believe I count the days
(When I get out)
That, girl, you know I just can't wait
The sun is gonna be shining, not a cloud in the sky
No bars (no bars), no walls (no walls) between you and I
We're coming under the stars, we can be all alike
I could think of the whole world if you just be by my side
When I get out
(When I get out)
I'm gonna find the dude that testified
Make him regret what he said
(When I get out)
I could stay up every night
Drink a beer and jump into my plane
(When I get out)
Yeah I'm gon' follow my own rules
Do whatever the fuck I want
(When I get out)
Every single thing is gonna be cool
All of my problems are gonna be gone

Oh, you better believe I count the days

The sun is gonna be shining, not a cloud in the sky
No bars (no bars), no walls (no walls) between you and I
We can steal a car, [?]

"When I Get Out" is a song by Masked Intruder which talks about an inmate's longing to be released from prison. The chorus of the song repeats the lyrics "When I get out" several times to emphasize the inmate's eagerness to leave the confinement of prison walls.
The lyrics express the things that the inmate plans to do once he is released such as finding the person who put him in prison and making him pay for that; eating ice cream and pizza every day and night respectively. The inmate wishes to follow his own rules and do whatever he wants and believes that none of his problems will follow him outside prison.
The song has a romantic undertone to it with the singer talking about doing everything with his loved one beside him. There's a sense of freedom and adventure in the song, with the singer depicting his release as the beginning of a new life with endless possibilities.
