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 |
