American Lockdown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ten minutes til' twelve o'clock
That's when the hammer drops
Sienide in the chamber
Until the humvee stops
The last man (dying man)
In a dying democracy
Past americana
From see to shining see
Lockdown, America Lockdown
America Lockdown, America
Solution in his layer
Is locked up in a cage
Sweepin' under a road
Lockdown, America Lockdown
America Lockdown, America
Lock him in a cell
Spread him of his rights
One latch a time
March above the hill
Stand above the ground
One latch at a time
Lockdown, America Lockdown
America Lockdown, America
