Keep telling yourself you’ve got to do this
Pull the trigger and then you’ll be through this
Keep telling yourself you’re gonna make them pay
Keep kidding yourself that it’s the only way
The action, reaction, tell me, is it satisfaction
With hundreds dead, maimed and bleeding
Is this the message of the truth you’re seeding
Lock and load on the middle classes
Open fire on the faceless masses
The innocent must pay the price
The sniper folk hero’s sacrifice
Who you work for, but who works you?
The means to the end of a Catch-22
Push it back to the end
The puppet strings which you depend
Cut and snipped, one by one
Now you can’t stop what you’ve begun
Keep telling yourself you’ve got to do this
Set the timer and then you’ll be through this
The mindless creed of the terrorist
Fear, guns and bombs, hand over fist
The action, reaction, tell me, is it satisfaction
To kill a child in the name of God
Is this the blood of your jihad
Indiscrimination of the car bomb
The chosen weapon of fundamental Islam
Republican Army Liberation Front
A killer is a killer, a grunt just a grunt
Regardless of the side that they’re on It changes nothing, a pawn is still a pawn
