Ten minutes til' twelve o'clock,
That's when the hammer drops,
CYANIDE in the chamber,
Until the HEARTBEAT stops,

The last BREATH (Dying BREATH),
OF a dying democracy,
PAX americana,
From SEA to shining SEA,

[Chorus:]
Lockdown, America Lockdown,
America Lockdown, America...

Solution in THIS LAND,
Is LOCK HIM in a cage,
Sweep IT under THE RUG,

[Chorus]

Lock him in a cell,
STRIP him of his rights,
One latch a time,

MARCH HIM UP A HILL 
STRIP HIM OF HIS SOUL
One latch at a time,

[Chorus]
