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No job for his outdated skills 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
