The man emerges from the shadows
Sorting out his camera angles
No real violence, and no repeal
Camera, action: shoot to thrill
The man let go with both the barrels
Sorted out his petty quarrels
No street fighter no man of steel
Just easy action, shoot to kill
Get a gun, shoot for fun
Fake a lie and get on the run
Where to go, what to do?
This Pressure’s made a killer out of you
An invitation across the nation
To go killing in the streets
Recession's here, the time is right
For shooting up the streets now
...Shoot for fun
Fake a lie, get on the run
Where d'ya go, who d’ya see?
This Pressure’s made a killer out of me
Don’t believe the narrative
Don’t believe El Paso
Make believe in Hungerford,
Christchurch and Bikini Atoll
Don’t believe Las Vegas, now
Don’t believe in Elon Musk
Fairytales from London Bridge
Don’t forget your narwhal tusk
No food, no hope, no job, no pride
Make a deal, and come inside
No faith, no soul, no life, no money
Come inside and taste the honey...
No matter where you are
You know you won't get far
From the lying and the pain
Don’t you bring it back again
Chaos made a killer
Made a killer out of you
Maybe they’ll just stop your rights
And then they'll crush the truth
Get a gun, shoot for fun
Fake a lie, get on the run
Where d'ya go, who d’ya see?
Pressure’s made a killer out of me
Get a gun, shoot for fun
Fake a lie, and get on the run
Where d'ya go, who d’ya see?
This pressure’s taken its toll on me
