Security Theater is the third song on Mezsiah’s second album Numbers' Curse where the name of the song Security Theater is where a place puts up security measures that make somewhere feel like it is safer than it really is while it does little or nothing for the overall safety in a building. An exam...
[Lyrics to "Security Theater" by Mezsiah]
[Intro]
Mmh, lies are made and conjured up to control us (Whoa-oh-oa)
Treason is no reason for demeaning brothers (Yeah-eah-yeah)
And so you face the truth and face the facts
Is that your belief, (Ooh-oh-ooh)
Cause I don't believe you
You're not the meaning, Viñamata on the beat bitch, of what (Yeah-eah-eah) I see
[Chorus]
My emotions, lock me up (Whoa-oh-oah)
They keep telling me to leave it on the rocks (Yeah-yeah)
So I take my time (Whoa-oh) with thе reasons (Yeah)
It's the policе, (Ooh) Rolling up, up (Whoa-oh-oh)
Now it's looking like I'm all fresh out of luck (Ooh-ooh)
Cause the attitude
Changes (Oo-ooh) with the seasons (Yeah-ea-eah)
[Verse 1]
If I'm easy on the racks, I can find time to relax
Cause I know you want my freedom baby
You don't have to ask so just (So just, so just)
Throw your money to the wind
The only way my love begins
Is if you really wanna lie to me to make amends
Ooh, Lucy
I got two sleeves
Full of tricks to make you juicy
I will lock down on your booty
If you dress up for me slooty, Ooh-ooh-ooh
And I believe you've caught my line
I'm the one to help you make your omens right
So truthfully, can't you see
Your instability's open for me, yeah
Lay down your powers
Come grab my hand
To get a notion of how this ends
[Chorus]
My emotions (Ooh), lock (Yeah-ea-eah) me up (Whoa-oh-oh)
They keep telling me to leave it on the rocks (Ro-o-ocks, Yeah-eh-eah)
So I take my time (Whoa-ah-oh)
With the reasons (Yeah)
It's the police, (Ooh) Rolling up (Whoa-oh-oh)
Now it's looking like I'm all fresh out of luck (Ooh)
Cause the attitude changes (Ooh) with the seasons (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Terror induced the population
To make the wrong decisions with their rotations
Cause they be looking out
Only for themselves
Oh, why'd you wanna help someone who's openly just
Doing shit to make you feel at ease
When hate is on the breeze
It's spreading like disease
It's the reason I'm-
Looking at happiness going away
When they told us that we're not the same, no-oh
I feel the menace is growing
Their guilt's overflowing
But keep your hands open and all is forgiven
All is excused
Make yourself blind and enter the truce
[Chorus]
My emotions (Ooh), lock me up (Ahh-ah-ah)
They keep telling me to (Leave it on the rocks) leave it on the rocks
So I take (Take) my time (Ahh-ah)
With the reasons
It's the police, (Ooh) Rolling up (Whoa-oh-oh)
Now it's looking like I'm all fresh out of luck (Lu-u-uck)
(Cause the attitude) Cause the attitude
Changes (Changes) with (With the seasons) the seasons (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
