Lyrics

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 the 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 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 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
