Rise, taste the air, lock and load, pull the trigger,
Climb, to new heights, and tell me, tell me what you hear...

A whisper from the wind, and I can't help but listen,
It warns us of disaster, and I can't help but wonder,
Can anyone hear the same distress call?

So this is a quest to save the world,
And he'll always be here for another,
Another day another chance to rescue

(OK Jonny, lock and load)

This is all I need to feel alive,
(Remember now, aim small, missed mark)

The Crashing of white waves and I can't help but listen,
The Screaming of the Earth, and I can't help but...

So this is a quest to save the world,
And He'll always be here for another,
Another day, Another chance to rescue,

This is all I need to feel alive, (oh yeah)
(HEY JONNY!)
This is all I need to feel alive

WAY TO SAVE THE WORLD!
WAY TO SAVE THE WORLD!
WAY TO SAVE THE WORLD!
WAY.....TO SAVE......THE WORLD!

So this is a quest to save the world,
And He'll always be here for another,
Another day, Another chance to rescue

So this is a quest to save the world,
And He'll always be here for another,
Another day, Another chance to rescue

This is all I need to feel alive, (x9)

    Song Meaning:This songs about a character that the boys learnt about in sex education at secondary schoool. Jonny Sniper is some sort of hero who waits across the road when your just about to have sex and shoots a comdom at the end of your bed if you dont have one, just makes this song a thousand more times amazing than it already is :) i adorrre it :D

    General Comment:okay, so yes the song is titled after a sex ed cartoon!
    enter shikari are amazing! i really want them to come to Australia!

    but i heard from an interview not to long ago the same thing as jamesgc.
    that this song is about the world, and the environment and banding together to do something the hell about it!

    General Comment:This is one of their best songs! This is a local band to me so they've played here MANY times. They should be more popular than they are, they have some serious talent. How is it someone like Britney Spears can hit it big but a bunch of guys with talent are still almost in the shadows? - They need Timbaland ;)
