the streets run red with the blood of the innocent
why

why?
we stab our knives in the back of humanity
why

why?
there's never peace just a spiral of violence
why
why
why?
we'll shoot you down for a difference of opinion

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
