Family Snapshot
The streets are lined with camera crewsEverywhere he goes is newsToday is differentToday is not the sameToday I make the actionTake snapshot into the light, snapshot into the lightI'm shooting into the light
Four miles down the cavalcade moves onDriving into the sunIf I worked it out rightThey won't see me or the gun
Two miles to go, they're clearing the roadThe cheering has really begunI've got my radioI can hear what's going on
I've been waiting for thisI have been waiting for thisAll you people in TV landI will wake up your empty shellsPeak-time viewing blown in a flashAs I burn into your memory cells'cause I'm alive
They're coming 'round the cornerWith the bikers at the frontI'm wiping the sweat from my eyesIt's a matter of timeIt's a matter of willAnd the governor's car is not far behindHe's not the one I've got in mind'cause there he is - the man of the hour, standing in the limousine
"I don't really hate youI don't care what you doWe were made for each otherMe and youI want to be somebodyYou were like that tooIf you don't get given you learn to takeAnd I will take you."
Holding my breathRelease the catchAnd I let the bullet fly
All turned quiet I have been here beforeLonely boy hiding behind the front doorFriends have all gone homeThere's my toy gun on the floorCome back Mum and DadYou're growing apartYou know that I'm growing up sadI need some attentionI shoot into the light
