lyrics

Sound the alarm, we’re calling for a lock down
The feel of fright and panic is in the air
Stay awake, don’t fail this fragile town
You can run, but the threat won’t go anywhere

What have we done, these plans were promising
We took the chance to bring our scheme to life
Good intent became so menacing
Watch your back, you don’t know when the venom will strike

Tonight
Join this fight

Shut it down, get the word around
Shout it out, we gotta make a sound
Shut it down, ‘cause we’re all about
Shattering this chaos we created

Sound the alarm, we gotta face the danger
We know this epidemic is on the rise
Twist the truth and watch your vision blur
Check your facts, when you hear those rumors arise

It’s an outbreak living under our skin
Poison words are weakening your voice
Viral lies need honest medicine
Bite your tongue, taste the cure when you make that choice

Tonight
Join this fight

Shut it down, get the word around
Shout it out, we gotta make a sound
Shut it down, ‘cause we’re all about
Shattering this chaos we created

Shut it down, gotta break away
Shout it out, help is on the way
Shut it down, we can make a change
Building back these lives that we invaded

Sound the alarm, calling for a lock down
Sound the alarm, calling for a lock down
Sound the alarm, we’re calling for a lock down
Shout it out, we’re ready to stand and fight
Sound the alarm, we’re calling for a lock down
Calling for a lock down
