From the recording Code 9
Lyrics
CODE 9
by Tom Heinig and Halley DeVestern
Oooh they’re gonna getcha
They ain’t never gonna letcha
Just be, just be, just be
They is the shadow
That kills the loving sun
They wanna kill the real in you and me
They see you in the forest
They see you in your bed
They know everything you ever done or said
Brothers and sisters
We gotta get together
Or separately they will hang us dead
[chorus]
Sanctuary! By the power of your thumb
Just hit code 9, go deaf and dumb
Sanctuary! Like a silent battle drum
Just hit code 9, and I will come
They got your number; Literally.
But you ain’t the contract you signed
They can make you wear the uniform
They can make you cross the picket line
But they can never make you change your mind
They can lead me to the slaughterhouse
And tell me everything is fine
But they will never make me change my mind
[chorus]
(Bridge):
It ain’t your mama you been hidin’ from
You know they’re too big to fail
You ain’t got nothin’, Honey, but they still want some
They want all the air, so you better exhale…
(keyboard solo; guitar solo; chorus out)
