RUSH lyrics : "Lock And Key"

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 $$#istance, 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
