Name: Lockdown
Duration: P00H01M22S
Description: This song was written in fifteen minutes during a college math class, and I was thinking about my high school years where my school had so many lockdown's. People would call the school all the time and threaten to have guns and bombs planted throughout the school and the students were stuck in one class for hours until they had searched the school and found absolutely nothing.

lyrics

Keep the kids out of school
This is the only warning you'll get
Because I know for a fact
There's a gunman you won't forget
Keep the kids out of school
This is the only warning you'll get
Because I know for a fact
There's a gunman you won't forget

I'd rather not listen to your authority
Then say you're always right
I'd rather disobey your demands
Then lose in the gunfight

Keep the kids out of school
This is the only warning you'll get
Because I know for a fact
There's a gunman you won't forget
Keep the kids out of school
This is the only warning you'll get
Because I know for a fact
There's a gunman you won't forget

I'd rather not listen to your authority
Then say you're always right
I'd rather disobey your demands
Then lose in the gunfight
