This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika
Nothin' proper about ya propaganda
Fools follow rules when the set commands ya
Said it was blue
When ya blood was red
That's how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head

Blasted through ya head
Blasted through ya head

I give a shout out to the living dead
Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralised?
So serene on the screen
You was mesmerised
Cellular phones soundin' a death tone
Corporations cold
Turn ya to stone before ya realise

They load the clip in omnicolour
Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha fuckas lost their minds

Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Yeah
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Run it!

(Guitar solo)

Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high

Check-a, check-a, check it out
They load the clip in omnicolour
Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha fuckas lost their minds

No escape from the mass mind rape
Play it again jack and then rewind the tape
And then play it again and again and again
Until ya mind is locked in
Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya
Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya
They say jump and ya say how high
Ya brain-dead
Ya gotta fuckin' bullet in ya head

Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Yeah
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high

Uggh! Yeah! Yea!

Ya standin' in line
Believin' the lies
Ya bowin' down to the flag
Ya gotta bullet in ya head

Ya standin' in line
Believin' the lies
Ya bowin' down to the flag
Ya gotta bullet in ya head

A bullet in ya head (8 times, building to a shout)
A bullet in ya head (7 times, shouted/screamed)
Ya gotta bullet in ya fuckin' head!
Yeah!
Yeah! (Sustained to end of drum roll)

    The general theme of the song is about how the US government use the media, to brainwash people into basically being idiots……..

    And how they use the media as a weapon for their own propaganda.

    “They load a clip of Omnicolour” (what TV is broadcast in)

    “They pack the 9, and fire it at prime time” (9pm being what’s considered primetime in television, because that is when most people are watching. Basically they’re saying that the government pack primetime TV with propoganda).

    However, the song is a lot deeper, and more controversial than many thing.

    He comments:

    “You wear a yellow ribbon, instead of a schwazitka”.

    Yellow ribbons are worn by people, in support of troops fighting abroad. And it tends to be a conservative/republican symbol. He’s basically saying people who blindly support invading US troops, are no better than the Nazis 70 years ago………….

    He goes on to say “fools follow rules” and “that’s how you got a bullet in your head”.

    Basically, he’s stating that people who fight for the US army, blindly, because of the propaganda the government pumps out, are idiots, and can’t complain if they’re killed

    To conclude, the songs generally about the US government using TV to control US citizens.

    But the actual theme “bullet in your head” is about how the US government uses TV to legitimise illegal wars and invasions……..
