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, the 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 closer 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 neutralize the high negative environment

We must stabilize 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
