Lyrics: Jello Biafra. The Audacity Of Hype. Panicland.


When you jump
At the sight of your neighbour
Arm yourselves against them instead
Stiffened up like a porcupine, Oh yeah
Welcome to Panicland

Doncha know it?s a trap
Feel it snap
Then you crack
P-P-P-Panicland

5PM, see the lemmings flee
Past their gated non-communities
Mortgaged lives
To pay for the privilege, Oh yeah
To lock themselves safely in jail

I say it?s a trap
Feel it snap
Then you crack
P-P-P-Panicland

Crime
Everywhere
Evil?s all I see or read or hear

Duck and cover
Under the bed
Protect home and family
From THEM

Call the Army
Call the Guard
Someone?s kid somewhere
Might be on drugs

We won?t stop
Til we got
A SWAT team
In every garage
Ahhhhh --- P-P-P-Panicland

Wet brown hordes
Flood the magic kingdom
Lock ?em up, throw away the key
You can?t fly if your name is Mohammed
Or Ali
Kuz we?re terrorized
By terror on TV

It?s just one more trap
Feel it snap
Then you crack
P-P-P-Panicland

Yeah
That?s right
Up a tree
P-P-P-Panicland
