Lock And Key |
I don’t want to face the killer instinct |
Face it in you or me |
We carry a sensitive cargo |
Below the waterline |
Ticking like a time bomb |
With a primitive design |
Behind the finer feelings |
This civilized veneer |
The heart of a lonely hunter |
Guards a dangerous frontier |
The balance can sometimes fail |
Strong emotions can tip the scale |
Don’t want to silence a desperate voice |
For the sake of security |
No one wants to make a terrible choice |
On the price of being free |
I don’t want to face the killer instinct |
Face it in you or me |
So we keep it under lock and key |
It’s not a matter of mercy |
It’s not a matter of laws |
Plenty of people will kill you |
For some fanatical cause |
It’s not a matter of conscience |
A search for probable cause |
It’s just a matter of instinct |
A matter of fatal flaws |
No reward for resistance |
No assistance, no applause |
I don’t want to face the killer instinct |
Face it in you or me |
So we keep it under lock and key |
I don’t want to face the killer instinct |
Face it in you or me |
So we keep it under lock and key |
Lock and key |
Don’t want to silence a desperate voice |
For the sake of security |
No one wants to make a terrible choice |
On the price of being free |
I don’t want to face the killer instinct |
Face it in you or me |
So we keep it under lock and key |
We don’t want to be victims |
On that we all agree |
So we lock up the killer instinct |
And throw away the key |
