Runabout - Lockdown

LOCKDOWN

The city is a cage and we're trapped like rats
Smashing up the streetlights with a baseball bat
The cabin fever's reaching boiling point
Grab your knives and pitchforks and we'll wreck this joint
They closed down all the bars & the drinking holes
So we keep all the violence hidden behind closed doors
We build fluorescent towers and work nine to five
We're getting used to coffins while we're still alive

In the city, there's no hope
You live so fast but it kills you slow
In the city, you can't hear a sound
Everything is under lockdown
(In the city)

The city is a prison and it's dog eat dog
We fight to keep our heads above the rising smog
We mortgaged off our souls one dollar at a time
At least we got some pretty pictures we can post online
So lock up your daughters and fortify your house
Arm the police and surrender all your rights
We keep all the violence behind closed doors
When no one is looking we're just thugs and whores

In the city, there's no hope
You live so fast but it kills you slow
In the city, you can't hear a sound
Everything thing is under lockdown
(In the city)

In the city, you can't get out
In the city, you can raise your hands and shout
In the city, you can bitch & moan
But you'll never leave this is your home
In the city, everything is under lockdown
