Blood Meridian Songtext

von Hope of the States

The money's running out
The casino's burning down
The police are getting nervous

The transmission's shot
The schools are all locked
The offices have shut up shop

It's quiet on the streets today
I think I know what's going on
But I'm too scared to say
In case I got it wrong
And made a bad mistake

Emergency! Emergency!
Someone acted honestly
We better string them up
Tie them down
Never let the news get out
And never let it happen again

Emergency! Emergency!
Someone meant every word they said
We should beat them up
Lock them up
Throw away they key
And never let it happen again

There's a flood coming in
And the snow is coming down
There's fighting on every corner

The troubled little kids that were bullied in school
This is the only chance yr getting
To stand up for the put upon
The worried and the anxious
Don't be too scared to say they got it all wrong
And made a bad mistake

Emergency! Emergency!
Someone acted honestly
We better string them up
Tie them down
Never let the news get out
And never let it happen again

Emergency! Emergency!
Someone meant every word they said
We should beat them up
Lock them up
Throw away they key
And never let it happen again

Tell me won't you tell me
How we ended up so cynical
We should give it up
Start again
Admit mistakes and try to change
And never let it happen again
