Lyrics

Lock up your children.
    
Lock up your pets as well. (Your pets as well.)
It's time to panic, because 
something terrible is mad as Hell.
    
So read the papers,
and read the magazines. (The magazines.)
Something's approaching,
(oh no,
oh no.)
    
And no one knows exactly what it means,
but the killer machines are coming.
Don't let your guard down, and watch your back.
It's time to panic panic panic in the city city city under fire fire fire.
    
This is how to act...

They have malfunctioned.
They went insane
Here come the buzzsaws and rattling chains.
No way to stop them.
Nowhere to run.
Robotic destruction has now begun.
    
I hear the beeping.
I hear the people scream. (The people scream.)
I think we're finished.
(oh my God)
How I wish that this were just a dream...
    
It's like a nightmare.
Have they forgotten Johnny 5? (Johnny 5)
"No disassemble."
I have a feeling that we won't survive.
We'll be eaten alive by robots.
    
I see them rolling down the railroad track.
It's time to panic panic panic in the city city city under fire fire fire.
This is how I act.
