Trouble Down South

Mekons

There's trouble down south
Metal keens through die air
Numbers are falling one by one
Sky fills with blades
Sound falls from above
Smoke rolls through the trees

Secure that sector
Move up the valley and take it out
Look out for wires
'Ihe trucks move out
The village burns
Silence in die swamps

We hear you guys. Avoid strong light. Stay underground
Hold still there! Movement in the dark.

Actions getting cioser to home
In a clean steel dream the plane swoops in
All our children coming home
All our children coming home
This is a Priority Two transmission. We have blue air situation. Zip your suits and take your pills. Secure full masks

Magnum leaps from his car
Eyes glint in the hot hot sun
"Hey guys, where's that plane bound for?"

Over die clouds, over die clouds
"Clear the way. We're coming through."

We hear you guys. Avoid strong light. Stay underground
We hear you guys. Avoid strong light. Stay underground

The trucks move out
The village burns
Silence in the swamps

Over die hills shadows float on the grass
Silver winds brush the trees
Over die hills

In a clean steel dream the plane swoops in
All our children coming home
All our children coming home

lt is imperative to redress the negative body count scenario
All personnel to neutralise the high negative environment
We must stabilise the initial low security profile. No blank
volleys and don't spare the bullets

WEEKS, MONTHS, A WHOLE YEAR HAS PASSED
THE DEAD SLEEP ON BUT THE LIVING HAVE RISEN
THE CROWD MOVES FORWARD AGAIN, BUT NOW IT'S DIFFERENT
REVENGE IS A RED FLAG SOAKED IN A BROTHER'S BLOOD
DESPOTS BEWARE! THIS IS THE START OF OUR FREEDOM...
