Lock Them Away

from Madison Lint 2001​-​2004 by Mark Lint

about

Instruments recorded December 2002, completed in 2003 for our "bluesy demo." It has not been subsequently remixed or resung, so you get the grungy, occasionally-out-of-tune thing as it happened.

lyrics

Long drawn suffering action
Losers us all around
We keep our distance for to feel ourselves
Our roots burned into the ground

And if we singly should drop or be thrown down
We hope to collect on the love that we're owed
And we can break those who would dare to defy us
Remove them, lock them away

Lock them away, now they’re gone while we stay

The wreckage caused is without us
The tragic just passing by
When you're the one who's just lost all that he has
It's harder, then, to deny
And if we don't want to live with each other
We close eyes, as we may
If we're disgusted by some parts of ourselves

We remove them, lock them away
Lock them away, now they're gone, there they stay

Lost and criminal actions
Emerged from sources we've traced
What do we find if we examine this Other?
Hate I don't want to face
And so we close up and strike out again
Reacting as people have always done
Gather our decency and common sense, and
Remove them, lock them away
