Family Snapshot |
| The streets are lined with camera crews |
| Everywhere he goes is news |
| Today is different, today is not the same |
| Today I make the action, take snapshot into the light |
| Snapshot into the light, I’m shooting into the light |
| Four miles down the cavalcade moves on |
| Driving into the sun |
| If I worked it out right, they won’t see me or the gun |
| Two miles to go, they’re clearing the road |
| And the cheering has really begun |
| I’ve got my radio, I can hear what’s going on |
| I’ve been waiting for this |
| I’ve been waiting for this |
| All you people in TV land |
| I will wake up your empty shells |
| Peak-time viewing blown in a flash |
| As I burn into your memory cells |
| 'Cause I’m alive |
| They’re coming around the corner with the bikers at the front |
| I’m wiping the sweat from my eyes |
| It’s a matter of time, a matter of will |
| And the governor’s car is not far behind, he’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 you, I don’t care what you do |
| We were made for each other, me and you |
| I want to be somebody, you were like that too |
| If you don’t get given you learn to take |
| And I will take you |
| Holding my breath |
| Release the catch |
| And I let the bullet fly |
| All turned quiet, I have been here before |
| A lonely boy hiding behind the front door |
| Friends have all gone home |
| There’s my toy gun on the floor |
| Come back, Mum and Dad |
| You’re growing apart, you know that I’m growing up sad |
| I need some attention |
| I shoot into the light |
