Blood Meridian

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
