Hidden Instincts |
Maintaining a safe social order |
Is one of our system’s greatest chores |
We’re afraid to walk the streets alone at night |
Our society sleeps behind locked doors |
Lurking beneath the shadow’s surface |
Hiding under exterior silence |
There exists in every individual |
The potential for criminal violence |
Crime after crime — conditioned criminality |
Timed after time — randomized brutality |
Reminds us we must live in fear |
As we are held prisoner by the fear of assault |
Our freedoms are compromised |
As we are held prisoner by the fear of attack |
Our freedoms are victimized |
A psychopathic killer |
A common teenage vandal |
Both victims of instincts |
They cannot handle |
A fearful population rests |
On the brink of insanity |
An unfortunate aspect of human nature |
Crime will exist as long as humanity |
Some find they must resort |
To predatory ways to survive |
Some find they must kill |
In order to stay alive |
