We're in lockdown in hot town
There is no movement in the street
People hiding behind curtains
You can spot them by their feet
Well the terrorists are taking over
They got the cops on the run
Me and my kid just wanna go outside
Have some good time summer fun
Don't go down to hot town
Don't go down, don't go down
Some odd people are just plum crazy
They live and die by their ideals
Don't you go and disagree with them
They will throw you under their wheels
They want things to be black and white
Don't go bringing any shades of gray
They rule the streets here in hot town
It's a hot, hot, hot day today
We're in lockdown in hot town
Ain't no place for the mild and the meek
The TV's vague about the details
Could be stuck here for more than a week
Who are all these crazy pyschos
Why do they do what they do
They light a fire under hot town
And then they close the flue
