The streets run red with the blood of the innocent
|
Why, why, why?
|
We stab our knives in the back of humanity
|
Why, why, why?
|
There's never peace just a spiral of violence
|
Why, why, why?
|
We'll shoot you down for a difference of opinion
|
Why, why, why?
|
Cheap the bullet, easy the gun
|
Sons and daughters, lost and gone
|
Cheap the bullet, easy the gun
|
No talk, no thought, just shoot and run
|
|
Our children wake to the bomb and the bodysearch
|
Why, why, why?
|
We fill their ears with the drums and the battle cries
|
Why, why, why?
|
They burn your car when you stray it's a game they play
|
Why, why, why?
|
They're fed on hate it's a circle we don't want to break
|
Why, why, why?
|
|
Cheap the bullet, easy the gun
|
Sons and daughters, lost and gone
|
Cheap the bullet, easy the gun
|
No talk, no thought, just shoot and run
|
|
I'm baptised in your prejudice
|
I'm confirmed with your hate
|
I'm ordained into violence
|
I'm a child of the modern world
|
Of the media world
|
Of the TV world
|
Of the modern world
|
|
Cheap the bullet, easy the gun
|
Sons and daughters, lost and gone
|
Cheap the bullet, easy the gun
|
No talk, no thought, just shoot and run
|
