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
