AB
We carry a sensitive cargo

Below the waterline

Ticking like a time bomb

With a primitive design
AB
Behind the finer feelings

This civilized veneer

The heart of a lonely hunter

Guards a dangerous frontier

The balance can sometimes fail

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

Lock and key
Verse 2
AB
It's not a matter of mercy
CD
It's not a matter of laws
AB
Plenty of people will kill you

For some fanatical cause

A search for probable cause
AB
It's just a matter of instinct
CD
A matter of fatal flaws
