Mekons – Trouble Down South lyrics

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
