Powder Keg

It's deadly dark and mighty quiet
You strike a match and it starts a riot
Everybody screams but nobody hears
Lose your mind, you're left with fear
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
You better buckle up, get ready for a ride

It's a long, long way from reason to right
Reptile brains just fight and fight
On a one-way street with nowhere to turn
When the fuse is lit, you just watch it burn
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
You better buckle up, get ready for a ride

Powder keg
Flames explode inside your head
Run thru a maze get caught in the web
The fuses are lit, this time is it
Powder keg

Everybody, everybody hold up
There's time and space, everybody gets enough
You can hit your knees with your eyes rolled up
'Cause when the whole thing blows it's ash and dust
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You better buckle up, get ready for a ride

Powder keg
Flames explode inside your head
Run thru a maze get caught in the web
The fuses are lit, this time is it
Powder keg

He said she said, keepin' all the pigs fed
Up turn, down turn, watching all the books burn
Welfare, warfare, human greed, hard core
Kneel down, stand up, swallow hard, cover-up
Soft porn, secret tape, televised rape date
Mind suck, hard luck, self inflicted up-chuck

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
You better buckle up, get ready for a ride

Powder keg
Flames explode inside your head
Run thru a maze get caught in the web
The fuses are lit, this time is it
Powder keg
Once it goes off ain't no turnin' back
It takes everything you thought you had
The fuses are lit, this time is it
Powder keg
Flames explode inside your head
Run thru a maze get caught in the web
The fuses are lit, this time is it
Powder keg
