lyrics

Lockdown, lockdown
Shots are flying all around
Everywhere the bullets strafe
We can't keep the children safe
Lockdown, lockdown
Shots are flying all around

Lockdown, lockdown
Screaming out above the sound
Fumbling to make a call
Pressed up close against the wall
Lockdown, lockdown
Shots are flying all around

Lockdown, lockdown
Crouching low close to the ground
All adds up eventually
In the 21st century
Lockdown, lockdown
Shots are flying all around

Lockdown, lockdown
They said there's no motive found
Waiting for the NRA
To sidestep blame and dance on graves
Lockdown, lockdown
Shots are flying all around

Lockdown, lockdown
All the tension's tightly wound
Redhead Russians infiltrate
Congress never legislate
Lockdown, lockdown
Shots are flying all around

Lockdown, lockdown
Every school in every town
Babies trying trying to go outside
Just to make it home alive
Lockdown, lockdown
Shots are flying all around
