Siege
Apa ka, ka,
apa ka, ka,
run!
apa ka, ka
apa ka, ka
run!
they are coming
they are shouting
apa ka, ka
apa, ka, ka
run!
get the children inside!
pull down the blinds!
batten up the windows and door!
they have landed on our shores .
Big tanks are rolling,
the commander is giving orders,
they are moving closer to our borders.
What are you staring at!?
get down from that roof!
what are you trying to prove?
pick up your weapon and run!
you are no match for
those big machine guns.
apa ka ka
apa ka ka
run!
apa ka ka
apa ka ka
run!
Who are you calling ?
the deputy?
look man!
this is not some hanky panky
street gang fight?
Or an inner city marching band?
You cannot fight war
with your naked hands.
Tell the deputy to run for cover!?
they have bullet proof helicopter
and nothing from the outside
can break those powers!?
apa ka, ka
apa ka, ka
run!
You can’t say I didn’t warn you,
you have been talking too much
messing with their inner trust,
and stabbing me in my bleeding gut.
Get serious and think of a plan
and stand up to them like a real man.
Fortified the city,
organize a steering committee,
keep the thugs off the street,
secure your ports and borders
and educate the people before the disaster.
Round up all the deputies.
what are you staring at!?
I don’t don’t have time
for that!
get moving!
don’t ask any further questions
this is going to be worse
than the great depression.
Burn those false statement,
corrupted and fabricated reports,
the truth is about to unfold,
they have just crossed the shores,
look!
They are knocking at your door.
How much time do we have?
can we work out a deal?
we have no time to repeal,
start acting responsible
and stop the useless beguiling bliss.
we can make it with one stride
trusting that God is by our side
apa ka, ka
apa, ka, ka
run!
