blackhawks over los angeles

Singer:strung out

curfew tonight in hollywood

as the insurgents drawing near

helicopters and ecstasy

and the shot heard round the world

the camera shines for channel zero

as the cool kids running scared

the army has got a brand new toy

and they're just waiting for the word

tonight it begins so lock your doors up tight

blackhawks over los angeles

the civil strife between the left and right

as the occupation falls

the homeless have taken beverly hills

and there's smoke from city hall

we never have seen it coming down this way before

blackhawks over los angeles

and on and on they drone

in the spotlight glare

this is crazy

all broken glass and panic attacks

silicone and pillbox hat

there's panic in the streets tonight

curfew tonight in hollywood and all the sirens drawing near

gonna call down an air strike as the shock reins clear

there's panic in the streets there's a calling on the wire

and the cameras got it all as we walk on through the fire

as a crowd begins to gather.a shot rings out

we never have seen it coming down this way before

don't really know where else to hide

and on and on they drone

in the spotlight glare

this is crazy

all broken glass and panic attacks

silicone and pillbox hat

there's panic in the streets tonight
