I don't want to face
The killer instinct --
Face it in your or me
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
The balance can sometimes fail --
Strong emotions can tip the scale --
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...
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
No reward for resistance
No assistance --
no applause...
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...
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...
We don't want to be victims
On that we all agree
So we lock up the killer instinct --
and throw away the key...
