Текст песни Rush - Lock and Key

Текст:

I don't want to face the killer instinct Face it in you or me We carry a sensitive cargo Below the waterline Ticking like a time bomb With a primitive design Behind the finer feelings This civilized veneer The heart of a lonely hunter Guards a dangerous frontier The balance can sometimes fail Strong emotions can tip the scale Don't want to silence a desperate voice For the sake of security No one wants to make a terrible choice On the price of being free I don't want to face the killer instinct Face it in you or me So we keep it under lock and key It's not a matter of mercy It's not a matter of laws Plenty of people will kill you For some fanatical cause It's not a matter of conscience A search for probable cause It's just a matter of instinct A matter of fatal flaws No reward for resistance No assistance, no applause Don't want to silence a desperate voice For the sake of security No one wants to make a terrible choice On the price of being free I don't want to face the killer instinct Face it in you or me So we keep it under lock and key We don't want to be victims On that we all agree So we lock up the killer instinct And throw away the key
