Lockdown, Emergency

Michael Melko & Jim Melko

 

Chorus

Lockdown, emergency

Hide behind our own security

Lockdown, emergency

Someone's here who ain't supposed to be

 

Mister Kenny tried to pay his bills

No job for his outdated skills

The banks are gonna take away his home

No money for prescription pills

Now the whole world's going red

Laughing at him in his head

They'll stop laughing when they're dead

 

Repeat Chorus

 

Overseas the hatred keeps on growing

Twisted faith just keeps it going

Turn a boy into a bomb

Walks in a crowd unknowing

Trembling fingers light the fuse

He's got nothing he can't lose

He's got nothing left to lose

 

Repeat chorus

 

We brew our madness

And drink it black

And choke on outrage

At each attack

With every breakdown

In our defense

We keep exposing

A new lost innocence

                            

Final Chorus

Lockdown, emergency

No way back to what it used to be

Lockdown, emergency

Escalating the depravity

 

Lockdown, emergency

Someone's here who ain't supposed to be

Lockdown, emergency

[a cappella] A world of butchers after you and me
