Lock and Key

Lyrics

[Intro] I don't want to face the killer instinct Face it in you or me [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] The balance can sometimes fail Strong emotions can tip the scale [Chorus] 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 Lock and key [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] No reward for resistance No assistance, no applause [Chorus] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] 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 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 [Outro] We don't want to be victims On that we all agree So we lock up the killer instinct And throw away the key
