Crackdown Lyrics

The music of a southern day
And the nectar of brass,
Spilling into congo square
Where the queens used to pass
There lies no better place
For one leftto drift
And there hides no greater lie
And no bigger myth
And in the heat of crackdown

All is silent
Just before the match is struck
And the gas is poured
But in the heat of crackdown
All is silent underneath

Gunned down in the drive
A foreign exchange
Student from Japan whose fate, it was
Shortchanged,
You saw it all
When it made the national news
How the isolated incident
Occured in Baton Rouge.

And in the heat of crackdown
All is silent
Just before the match is struck
And the gas is poured along roads
But in the heat of crackdown
All is silent underneath,
It's a crackdown on beliefs.

Everyone watching
The the event from the sky
No bodies touching
Don't wish to prize
Into our own lives
Terrorism.Terrify.
Tear the truth in two.
Seeks to paralyze.
Weaken.Turn the screws.
But only cowards could
Create the ok bomb
Cause no bomb is ok,
When there can be no calm.

And in the heat of crackdown
All is silent
While the voice
Of power over
Roars.condemns
The songs of
Innocence
And finally
It's a crackdown on beliefs.
