on a hate tour of duty,
swinging a bullet sling blade
Buying a death row ticket,

to solve your anti-social mental problems
Sharpen that sling blade

by doubtful, male chauvinist disdain

Dressed in the blue jeans of a typical teenager,
Or was the AK-15 the evil that brought such doom

their weightiness is gonna be dropped
on everything known

turned to glass
it remains incomprehensible
what have you done
and
who's sending those metal birds 
engineering shadows
over your

calling Derry Londonderry, 
uttering the word "redact",

Pop Idol


Milk the applause, savour the day;
You only have thirty seconds left, 
Of your fifteen minutes of fame.
Another band falls off the conveyor belt;
It’s time for you to be replaced, by another covers band.

and call home, hoping there's...

As he sqauts by the river
Skipping  angry stones in a flurry
As he washes away his liver
Thinkin bout the old days
When he was a name in the game
