Gate Shut Panic - Accelerators

A sunny da, the 5th of May on the Dam Square

Among the crowd, a harmless shout caused mass despair

And they all started running

Afraid their world was coming to an end so soon

When the gates close, that’s the end of all you know

Out of time to make amends, let alone sense out of it all

When the gates close, that’s just the way it goes

For bargain rates, for Mary Kate or for a prayer

With finance, romance and religion be aware

'Cause when the last chance’s nearing

Stamping feet you’ll be hearing, then, where’s your master plan?

When everyone starts running for protection

And panic’s the most natural reaction

It’s best to expect there are no heroes

Maybe it’s a part of our condition

To reach for the leftover ammunition

To use what’s at hand as a stepping store
