Ten minutes til' twelve o'clock
That's when the hammer drops
Cyanide in the chamber
Until the heartbeat stops
The last breath
Of a dying democracy
Pax Americana
From sea to shining sea
Lockdown America
Lockdown America
Lockdown America
Solution in this land
Is lock him in a cage
Sweep it under the rug
Lockdown America
Lockdown America
Lockdown America
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
Lockdown America
Lockdown America
Lockdown America
